Betty Lamp

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a Betty Lamp. Metal object with a curved handle. A long pointy piece of metal extends upward from the handle. A chain hangs down from the top of the handle and attaches to a small latch on top of a cylindrical base. A thin wire runs from the base to the bottom of the handle. The base has a small lip around the edge and appears to be made of metal. The background is a plain wall.
