Lamp with goose-foot stem

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a bronze lamp titled "Lamp with goose-foot stem" by an unknown artist. The lamp has a dark green patina and is made of bronze. It consists of a shallow, round dish with a raised edge, serving as the base. A cylindrical stem rises from the center of the dish. The stem has a decorative ring near the bottom and tapers upwards. At the top of the stem, there is a smaller, shallow, round bowl. The stem's base is shaped like a goose's foot, with three toes. The lamp is placed on a beige fabric surface, with a beige wall in the background.
