Lamp Tèt Gridap Haitian Oil Lamp

This handcrafted Lamp Tèt Gridap (Lanp Meche) is a traditional Haitian oil lamp inspired by the historic lighting tools used throughout rural Haiti before electrification. Made from metal in a classic chodyè style, this lamp uses a cotton wick (mèche) soaked in oil or fuel to produce a steady ceremonial flame.

The lamp represents Haitian ingenuity, resilience, and cultural memory, reflecting a time when families relied on simple yet powerful handmade lighting systems for daily life, work, and spiritual practice.

Each lamp includes a FREE wick (mèche), making it ready for traditional display, cultural use, or altar decoration.
