the dragon lamp

This is a lamp located somewhere in Copenhagen. There are two of them, and they're very tall so chances are you can walk right past them without noticing the dragons on top. It's a dragon on a pole holding a lamp in its mouth. The dragon is made of copper which has turned green.

I have no idea how old the lamp is, but I'm sure it's before electricity was common. Also, the lamp part of the lamp looks like it's a slightly different style than the dragon, so that may have been added or modified later, but perhaps it's just me imagining things.
