Long Description
This beautifull lamp is a work of art! Photos speak for themselves.
A woman sculpture made of wood and cloth hangs on a metal lamp post.
She is painted mainly in gold (shorts, hairs and hat) and brown (skin). Her lips and eyes are also very colourfull.
Both arms made in wood are "separated/hangs loose" from the main body and holds by her clothes.
Her clothes feel like silk and there are a few pearl beads (in the back, on the shoulders). Her hat has a pompom attached to it.
The lamp is made in metal and has some glass prism in it.
History
It was given to me by the family of my neighbour who passed two years ago (damned Covid!), he was 87 years old. We were close friends but we never discussed about how he came to acquire the lamp. I know he traveled alot with his wife, including Hawaii in the 60ies.
I would like to know more about this lamp, where it is from.
