<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AuDragon, post: 383317, member: 6974&quot;]I think it is lovely as well. I also tend to think it is brass, not bronze. The electric cable looks old, but is it fabric or plastic covered? I agree with komokwa and think it had a base, perhaps one of those round or square Chinese wooden types that would also allow the cable to pass through it like you see in Asian lamps today. It&#039;s had lots of use as shown around the on/off switch and the deeper patina on top of the lion&#039;s head. </p><p>Can you post pics of inside the bulb socket?</p><p>One other observation is that it looks like he is about to put the lion head on, or has just taken it off after doing the Lion Dance. The way his head is slightly tilted and his two hands on either side of the lion head are just so accurate and detailed. Whoever molded it was really quite talented.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
