Hi Rink,

A few things that will help identify it.  Size, height, diameter, weight.  What is it made of?  Any markings, picture of the underside, and a photo of the plug.

The Native American is based on a work entitled "Trail's End." It's been reproduced in a million different places.

This image was popular along with a renewal of interest in Native American culture in the 1970s, which is when I would guess this lamp was made.

A very similar lamp
http://www.instappraisal.com/appraisal/slag-glass-table-lamp-native-american-motif-pair
I don't have an account with this site so I couldn't see the appraisal.

The term slag glass with metal overlays brought up the most results.

Thanks guys for the information and the links! I guess it is bronze then! What I saw they are listed on the expensive side! I probably will keep this one instead of selling it. thanks again guys!
