At its center, stands a solid brass post intricately adorned with a stunning 3D relief of a dragon, that slithers gracefully around its entire length,

The lamp's 3-sided pyramidal base is a masterpiece in itself, divided by three ornately crafted corner pieces. Each inch of the base is a tapestry of textural etched hieroglyphic scenes, set against a woven, haphazard branched pattern in the background.

As you gaze upon the pyramid scenes, you'll encounter a wolf fiercely biting a large serpent, in a dramatic struggle. Nearby, a crouching man wields a sword, flanked by two attentive wolves.

A dynamic depiction of a man leaping after a bird unfolds before your eyes, while the bird below is flanked by two wolves.

A serene tableau follows and features a wolf and a bird, both poised in a moment of harmony. In another scene, two wolves and a serpent share a glance.

The corner scenes offer their own vivid narratives: a man with a wolf's head stands amid a flower and two birds. In another, a warrior holds a sword aloft in his left hand, commanding attention over a scene that includes another man cradling his own severed head with his right arm, against his body. And then there are the three birds, a small serpent, and a wolf with a man's head, each detail meticulously etched to enrich the storytelling.

Crowning this artistic creation is a copper-toned brass bowl-like shade holder, featuring a delicate perforated lattice designed to secure the tall frosted glass chimney shade, which narrows to a clear glass border on top. This design allows the warm light to filter through softly, casting enchanting patterns that dance across your walls.
