Description

Lamp in orange-pink fabric with deep brown-red paint. The body of the lamp resembles a doughnut in that the center of the body consists of an open tube, possibly through which the lamp could have been hung by a string. The lamp is moreover unusual in that in place of a fill hole, the entire top is open, revealing the oil cavity. Thus, the cavity of the lamp also retains some traces of paint.
