Ceramic Native American Chief Table Lamp

This is a vintage ceramic table lamp featuring a seated figure of a Native American Chief. The figure is hand-painted with notable detail on the facial features, traditional dress, and elaborate headdress. The headdress is a vibrant mix of pastel colors including blue, yellow, pink, green, and orange, with darker brown and black accents. The figure wears a fringed tan shirt and trousers, and is adorned with a multi-strand necklace featuring large, colorful beads and a central medallion. The figure holds a pipe in both hands. It is seated cross-legged on a dark brown rectangular base, which in turn rests on a lighter wooden surface covered by a white decorative doily. The lamp features a simple, slightly flared lampshade that appears to be made of fabric, possibly silk or a similar material, in a light cream or pale green color, with a decorative scalloped and beaded trim along the bottom edge. The overall condition of the ceramic figure appears to be excellent, with no visible chips, cracks, or wear, consistent with the provided information of "perfect condition." The hand-painting is well-executed, suggesting quality craftsmanship. Based on the provided information, the lamp is approximately 55 years old, which places its estimated age in the late 1960s to early 1970s.
