This substantial lamp stands nearly 44 inches tall from base to socket (47 inches with extender attached) and makes an unforgettable statement in any space.

The body has a beautiful gold and green patina finish, giving the piece both presence and depth. The form—likely inspired by mid-century fascination with global and spiritual themes—captures the serene yet powerful energy of the goddess figure. Though it appears metallic at first glance, the lamp is crafted from heavy chalkware with an internal metal support, giving it a significant weight and impressive stability.

The lampshade is in very good vintage condition, featuring a reflective gold lining that produces a warm, elegant glow when lit. Minor cosmetic wear includes a few small marks to the rear paint and a subtle chip to one finger on the figure—both easily touched up if desired, but not distracting to the overall presentation.
