Three Fanous

No. 16 of 20 · free · 300 dpi

What you seeThree fanous lanterns hung side by side on indigo, a hexagonal, a tall and a round-bellied one, each wrapped in a soft radial glow of its own and lit amber behind its brass.

What it meansThe three classic shapes of the Ramadan lantern, from the small tin ones carried by children to the tall brass ones hung in doorways. Together they are the lantern seller's basic stock.

Where it worksClean, symmetrical and poster-like; the most graphic of the lantern pictures. For a kitchen, a child's room or a hallway.
