Description

A wooden sconce with a yellow wash. The sconce has three walls; the two side walls are 8 3/16" h, with a top rounded corner. The sides of the back are straight for 8 3/16" until they taper toward to a width of 3 3/16" at which point it rounds off. There are two through-holes at this point with a red-brown shoelace doubled, looped through, and tied in the back. Screwed to the back of the sconce is a small piece of wood 7 5/8" w x 3/4"h x 1/2" d. All sides are nailed to the base.
