It has a narrow top rather than the more typical flared top, and lacks any ornamentation such as inset jewels or silver chasing. See: T-24,The wick is formed from unprocessed cotton and a straw. The cotton is wrapped around the straw, and the straw set in the small hole in the middle of the basin of the lamp. The top of the wick should be slightly above the rim of the lamp. The lamp is then filled with clarified Dri butter. The dri is the female of the yak. The lamp is placed on an altar as an offering to the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Lamas represented there.See: Photo T-09 See also: T-09, T-19

The gunpowder is poured into small wooden containers (b) and (c) each of which contains the proper measure for firing one shot. Object (d) is a pouch for bullets. It currently contains nine lead bullets. They are each rough hollow spheres of lead, with the exception of one which appears to be solid lead. The hollow ones have raised lines encircling them on three axes. Inside are what appears to be seeds of some plant. Perhaps they are poisonous? All of these bullets are only vaguely spherical, some shaped more like an apricot pit. This suggests that it would be rather difficult to obtain much accuracy when aiming at a target.Object (e) is a horn with a wooden stopper and an ingenious wooden pressure release to dispense small amounts of gunpowder to the flash pan of the flintlock by the striker. .t is 5X2x1 1/2 inches.
