<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 2058375, member: 36"]Is that an American safety plug on there, or do both prongs look alike? To me it looks like late 60s to early 70s American or Italian for sale in the American market. The base looks like plaster. The lamp is an Asian figure with a Buddhist hand gesture, Chinese-ish clothes, and an Indian bindi on her forehead. I think she's just meant to be decorative. The red is a good luck color in that part of the world, and may be meant to resemble cinnabar. (if you found a piece of REAL cinnabar that size, of any age....$$$$$$ but this ain't that.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
