The skin is soaked, stretched over a wire frame and left to dry hard, then painted in naqashi work while it is still on the frame. This one is the tall capsule shape on a turned wooden base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack naqashi scrollwork over the natural cream skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurquoise and yellow flowers scattered through the scroll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrange-outlined diamond cartouche on the front face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurned sheesham base, polished and waxed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 inches high (35.5 cm) including the turned wooden base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stretched camel skin over a wire frame, on a turned sheesham base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-painted naqashi work sealed with clear lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Table lamp, bedside light, or ambient corner lamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry dusting only, with a soft brush.
