This is a bronze colored metal table lamp with glass chimney and shade. The design of this lamp is borrowed from Thor Heyerdahl's Kon Tiki boat, which used the design of a South American sun god, Kon Tiki. It has a spring loaded candle mechanism. Very solid and heavy. Duke Carter says in his book, Tiki Quest, that: "I have seen these used at many bars, such as Hala Kahiki and the Honolulu in Virginia."
