I'm selling this item because I'm decluttering, even though I bought it and displayed it! I'll include new batteries so you can use it right away.

This is a spherical table lamp made of Japanese paper, with a leaf pattern that beautifully casts shadows. - Color: White - Material: Japanese paper - Shape: Spherical - Base Material: Wood - Design: Leaf pattern - Lighting effect: Creates shadows Thank you for looking.
