The figure is clad in a kimono featuring vibrant orange and blue panels with black geometric and floral motifs. The upper and lower sections are further embellished with repeating green transfer-printed bamboo-like foliage sprigs. The shade is fitted with a dark patinated metal fitter ring at the open end, which displays a decorative border of pierced cloverleaf motifs and is secured by three metal thumb screws. The glass body exhibits a swirled, semi-opaque texture throughout.
