Carved and painted wood

A nice Northwest Coast totem figure (c. 1900) converted into a lamp (c. 1920–30s). The lamp can be enjoyed as a unique curiosity (with new wiring), though the figure can be easily removed from the lamp to become a nice stand-alone sculpture. The dimensions of the figure are 6” h x 2.75” w x 3.25” d. If used for a lamp, the wiring needs to be replaced.
