It is a hand-carved hanging lamp in the style of Austria, Bavaria or southern Germany. It hangs 32.5" from the ceiling at its lowest point and is 19.5" wide at its widest point. It has four lamps in mini sockets (1/2" with adapter from European size) on four arms. The center shaft is in the form of a square (painted) tile stove with four hand-carved figures surrounding it, one on each side. Each is wearing peasant dress and is doing or handling an object. One is a woman knitting, another a woman holding an umbrella, another a man with an accordian and another a man with a loaf of bread and a knife. The four arms of the lamp, as well as the fixtures above, are wood hand-painted with alpine flowers. The wood is natural color, varnished. It is aged and is now a light brown. The lamp is suspended on black chains from the ceiling and affixed to round, wooden painted disks.
