This model, created by Alberto Giacometti in 1933, was produced for interior designer Jean-Michel Frank. A vibrant tribute to the alabaster lamp discovered in November 1922 in Tutankhamun's tomb, whose sinuous curves it echoes, the Egyptian plaster lamp illustrates the sculptor's passion for the art of the Pharaohs.
