This is a pair of vintage electric Japanese Boys' Day lights, or okagaribi/bonbori. They are used for display and are a symbol of good health and fortune for boys. They can also be used as a hina doll accessory. The braziers consist of three metal poles with a floral pattern and a gold metal goblet at the top. Each light has a red bulb and red cotton-like fiber puffs to simulate a raging flame. There is a thick orange silk cord tied around each one.
