Western-themed Cowboy and Campfire Table Lamp

This is a Western-themed table lamp featuring a sculptural base depicting a cowboy with a campfire. The base appears to be made of a molded resin or plaster composite, possibly hand-painted or with a faux wood grain finish to mimic carved wood. The primary colors of the base are various shades of brown, indicative of wood and earth, with accents of lighter brown for the cowboy's attire, and hints of bluish-green for what might be a kerchief or other detail on the cowboy's neck. The cowboy figure is depicted in a crouching or kneeling position, tending to a campfire, which is represented by sculpted flames in shades of reddish-brown and orange, with some green elements that could suggest foliage or rocks around the fire. The overall construction of the base suggests a solid, somewhat heavy piece, typical of decorative lamps from the mid to late 20th century. There are visible details in the sculpting, such as folds in the cowboy's clothes, the texture of the 'logs' in the campfire, and the gnarled appearance of the 'tree stump' from which the lamp post extends. The lamp shade is a simple, cylindrical or slightly tapering drum shade in a solid, neutral tan or light brown fabric, likely burlap or a similar textured material, consistent with a rustic or Western aesthetic. The condition appears fair, with visible wear to the edges of the lamp shade, indicated by some fraying or discoloration. No apparent cracks or major damage are visible on the sculpted base, though detailed inspection would be required to confirm. The style suggests it could be from the 1960s to 1980s, popular during the revival of Western-themed decor. The craftsmanship appears to be commercial, mass-produced, but with reasonable attention to detail for its genre.
