cresset
A cresset is a metal cup or basket, often mounted to or suspended from a pole, containing oil, pitch, a rope steeped in rosin or something flammable. They are burned as a light or beacon.
Cressets mounted on the walls of Renaissance palaces in Italy were the first form of street lighting.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O128612/cresset-unknown/ ) ''Click "More information" tab''〕
