Step into the enchanting world of African folk art with this vintage Makonde African Carved Tree Of Life Lamp. This exquisite piece showcases intricate wood carving detailing a 'Tree of Life' or Ujamaa, a symbolic representation of support across generations. Crafted from a single piece of African Blackwood, this lamp stands at 21 inches tall and is paired with a handmade giraffe print shade for a touch of uniqueness.

Inspired by Makonde Art

Originating from the Makonde people of southeast Tanzania and northern Mozambique, this lamp carries the essence of tribal myths and fables in its design. Makonde artists are renowned for their exceptional wood carvings, masks, and household objects, with the 'Tree of Life' being one of their most iconic representations.
