On each handmade paper piece is a four square arrangement of money plant leaves to give a natural and modern accent to your home.
These leaves were picked and dried to retain the tan color.
The lamp measures 8" x 5" x 5" and a support is screwed in at the bottom to hold a brand new UL approved fixture for a 5 watt bulb. (bulb included)
A support is screwed in at the top as well to give stability. The electrical fixture has a 6 foot gold cord with an in line switch.

Modern Natural Hand Made Paper Lighting with Four Money Plant Leaves
My modern hand made paper lighting named FourSquare, has translucent money leaves on all four sides.
A contemporary addition to a small table or night stand. It gives a warm cozy feel. I have seen these lights placed in a bookshelf space, too, and the effect is striking.
My hand made paper is abaca which is strong and glued into and onto the 1/2" x 1/2" basswood supports.
The plant, Lunaria annua, is also called honesty for the silvery pods.
In South East Asia and the US, it is called money plant, silver dollars or Chinese coins for the dried silvery pods.
