Archaistic Brass Chinese Hu Vessel Urn Table Lamp
 
This vintage Chinese urn is created in the style of a traditional Hu Vessel, an archaic ritual bronze.  Such vessels furnished the tombs of China’s elite. The very heavy cast brass body is a beautiful form converted to a table lamp.  The lamp is created in relief with imagined foo dogs and Oni Serpent decorations all over.  It stands on a wood carved black enamel painted base. 
The circa 1980s lamp stands in good working condition with light wear due to age and use.  Lamp shade not included.
