It is hand crafted, a simple paper cylinder, almost a foot and a half tall, surrounded by sections of small gauge bamboo tree branches. The beauty of these lamps comes from the exceptional finish on those branches, and the light coming through the openings.

Bamboo is considered an auspicious plant in East Asia, possibly because it's so useful and fast growing. However, bamboo is often a subject of Asian art, so certainly the plant itself is considered beautiful. This lamp takes advantage of the natural beauty of the bamboo plant, and accentuates it by staining the bamboo with a beautiful cherry color, and protecting it with a durable, clear lacquer. Plug it in, and we think you will see what we mean.
