retro style lantern

evening boat ride over the Ganges at Varanasi; the boat had these lanterns along the roof-side railings. Could not take a wider shot without people coming into the frame

I don't think you need a wider lens. It's nice as it is.
Some sort of "Tilley" lamp? pressurised parafin/ gas release/ gas mantle?
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
