A painted metal figure of a female devil combination, looking pixie-like but possessing wings, horns, and cloven feet, mounted on a custom lamp base with raised letters "IT," the title of Clara's blockbuster film of 1927, written by Elinor Glynn. Clara Bow epitomized the new liberated flapper girl and this figure symbolizes her freedom and impishness or inclination to be naughty. It is marked "Patent Pending" and is 15″ tall on a 7″ x 9″ base. There is a slot for a piece of frosted glass (missing). The lamp functions.
Clara Bow was presented with a matching figure in November 1929, at the Roosevelt Hotel, home of the first Academy Awards, by Mr. G. C. Ranney on behalf of the artist. Only that figure, and two lamps using it, are known to exist. The artist is unknown, but it is in the style of Frankart and it was stated in the article he was an 'eastern sculptor.'
