Figural Ceramic/Resin Table Lamp with Braided Hair Figure

The item is a table lamp featuring a figural base depicting a stylized human figure, likely female, in a seated or reclining pose. The figure is rendered in a smooth, matte finish, appearing to be crafted from a material such as unglazed ceramic, bisque porcelain, or possibly resin, colored in a muted, creamy off-white or very light beige tone. The figure exhibits soft, rounded forms, and is notable for its intricate, braided hair detail cascading down its back. Its hands are casually placed in apparent pockets or folds of clothing, suggesting a relaxed posture. The lamp column rises directly from the top of the figure's head, connecting to a light-colored, possibly linen or fabric, drum-style lampshade. This shade shows signs of wear, including a distressed or shabby chic 'chippy' paint finish on the metal components connecting it to the base, suggesting intentional distressing or age. The overall aesthetic appears to be vintage-inspired or cottagecore, aiming for a timeworn, artisanal look. There are no clearly visible manufacturer's marks or signatures in the provided image. The condition seems consistent with a decorative item that has been used, with the distressed paintwork being a primary visible characteristic. The craftsmanship appears competent, with a focus on form and texture, and the figurine's details are thoughtfully sculpted. The lamp likely dates from the late 20th century to early 21st century, designed to evoke an antique feel.
