This teepee lamp has been hand painted with the painting technique called Ledger Art which came about after the Plains indians were forced onto reservations and their paintings began to resemble those lines found in accounting ledger books.  A wonderful addition to the Southwestern themed room.  The Tepee (also called Teepee and Tipi) lamp is completely hand made with a dark brown powder coated metal frame covered with a specially processed sheepskin rawhide leather that requires no additional conditioning - guaranteed not to crack!   Hand laced with leather lacing, and then hand painted by an extremely talented artist using a small brush. The flicker light bulb inside gives off a warm glow.  Switch on the cord makes it easy to turn of and on.  Available in two sizes - small (13 inches tall x 8 inch base diameter) and large (16 inches tall x 10 inch base diameter).  See the hand-painted versions also.  Entirely made in the USA by hand and made to order.  Please allow at least 4 weeks for production, hand painting, and shipment.  NOT Native American Indian Made.
