The "Belted Turtleback" table lamp by Tiffany Studios New York is a refined study in monochromatic expression. Separated into three distinct tiers, the conical lamp shade offers a marriage of subtly opposing forces. The uppermost tier features rectangular panels of mottled green that graduate in size in size as they descend, eventually being interrupted by a band of richly undulating emerald green glass in a horizontal orientation. The lowermost tier features regularly sized rectangular panels, but in this instance in another horizontal orientation. The shade sits upon a patinated bronze "American Indian" base that has raised decorations resembling Indian beadwork.
