Indonesian Skull Lamp

A bowling ball, a skull and a blender walk into a lamp.

This skull lamp comes from Bali, Indonesia, and is contemporary. It is a carved bowling ball on a vintage Osterizer base, which answers a question nobody asked. Bali is well known for carvers who make objects for collectors and visitors, and a lamp like this is made to light a room and start a conversation. The honey-colored skull keeps its teeth and eye sockets, with swirled blue showing at the crown and under the jaw. The chrome blender base still carries its name and Deluxe dial. A wide silver drum shade sits above, with a faceted blue finial on top.
