Questions about the product Medieval wooden lantern with genuine rawhide

How is the candle changed in this medieval wooden lantern, and is the design based on a historical find like the Visby lantern?

The candle in this lantern is changed by pulling the drip tray and candle holder upwards along a wooden rod. The design is based on the well-known Viking lantern discovered with the Oseberg shipwreck, but its form also resembles the so-called Visby lantern, which is in the tradition of medieval lanterns.
What materials is the lantern handle made of, and how should the wood be cared for to prevent cracking?

The handle of the wooden lantern consists of a sturdy steel carrying handle or a rope handle. To keep the wood supple and prevent cracking, it should be regularly rubbed with a suitable wood care oil or vegetable oil.
What are the exact dimensions of the lantern, and is it suitable for permanent outdoor use in the rain due to the use of natural materials such as rawhide?

The medieval wooden lantern is approximately 23.5 cm to 27.5 cm high and has a width or outer diameter of approximately 13.5 cm to 14 cm. Since rawhide is a natural material that can soften when wet, the lantern is not suitable for permanent outdoor use in the rain; it should be protected from extreme humidity.
Which light sources can be safely used in this lantern, and does the model have a hanging device or a stable base?

This lantern allows for the safe use of candles, as it features an internal steel drip tray and a candle holder. Thanks to the steel handle with ring, the lantern is suitable for both carrying and securely hanging from hooks or stands; at the same time, the construction with two hexagonal wooden bases provides a stable stand for placement on flat surfaces.
