A Statue Lika outdoor lighting accessory from the anthropomorphic lantern collection "The Others" by Stephen Burks.

This medium-sized sculpture is composed of two stacked hand-woven lantern shades, with the bottom lantern larger than the top. The frame of each lantern is made from black coated aluminum. The top lantern is in the color shade ‘Terra’ with the interwoven fibers in light brown, light grey, or beige. The bottom lantern is in the color shade ‘Rock’ with the red, orange, and brown interwoven fibers. The black base is made of nero marquina marble.
