Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A decorative floor lamp contructed to resemble a potted plant. The lighting fixture is a can lamp embedded within the faux gravel base of a large, artificial plant. The plastic plant is tall with wide variegated leaves, a thick trunk-style stem, and calla lily-style yellow flowers at the top. The artificial plant and light are in a large pot constructed of chrome sheet metal wrapped into a circle and finished with metal trim along the top edge, bottom edge, and seam. There are five (5) rubber feet on the bottom of the pot. The electrical cord runs out of the base of the potted plant, near the pot seam.
