A decorative assembly featuring a pair of hand-carved wooden figures mounted on a rectangular light-colored wood base, integrated with a central lamp fixture. The figures are rendered in a stylized manner consistent with Haitian folk art sculpture. One figure is depicted playing a tall drum, and the second figure is standing while balancing a container or basket on its head, often representing a market woman. The carvings exhibit a dark reddish-brown stain and pronounced surface texture, indicative of hand-carved construction. The functional lamp component consists of a metallic stem, likely brass or aged steel, which is mounted to the base using an industrial-style flange fitting stamped with the numbers 1914 and C8. The stem terminates in an empty socket assembly and includes a modern, coiled black electrical cord.
