Asian Figural Table Lamp

This is a table lamp with a figural column depicting an Asian, likely Chinese or Japanese, deity or dignitary. The figure appears to be carved or molded from a light-colored material, possibly resin, plaster, or a type of composition material, given its monochromatic, off-white to light beige hue. The carving details show elaborate drapery, a prominent headdress with visible hair or ornamentation, and facial features characteristic of East Asian art. The figure stands on a rectangular base, which is likely made of wood and stained dark, possibly black or dark brown, providing a stable foundation for the lamp structure. Above the figure, a brass or brass-plated metal rod extends upwards, supporting a light socket and a shade. The shade is a simple, cylindrical or slightly tapered white glass or plastic globe, ribbed horizontally and frosted, diffusing the light emitted from within. The overall style suggests an antique or vintage piece, possibly dating from the mid-20th century, though without clearer markings, an exact age is difficult to pinpoint. The lamp shows signs of age-appropriate wear, such as some patina on the metal components and possibly minor discoloration or dust accumulation on the figure. The craftsmanship appears to be reasonably detailed for a decorative lamp, focusing on the intricate folds of the figure's robes and its serene expression.
