Product Description
This mexican sun face tin wall lamp shade brings folk symbolism and warm, patterned glow. A radiant sunburst with jagged rays surrounds a stylized face. Hand-punched perforations and colored insets animate the surface. The dark rustic patina, with subtle reddish undertones, deepens warmth when lit. At 24 inches in diameter, it reads bold as an accent or a pair.
Material and Craftsmanship
Hand-punched hojalata (tin/steel) is cut, formed, and soldered from the back. Edges are rolled/hemmed for rigidity and safe handling. A smoke-brown patina is hand-rubbed for an antique look and sealed for daily use.
