Lamp

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photo of a lamp. The lamp has a clear glass bulb-shaped body. A metal piece is on top with two prongs and a small knob. A cord emerges from the base of the prongs, runs down through the glass body, and exits through the base. The base is octagonal, clear glass with an etched design. Numbers are etched into the front of the base. The background is a light gray color.
