Mounting a sconce to a 4x4 ipe deck post? (w/ inspiration photo)

I am in the process of building an ipe deck. The deck includes privacy "screens" on two sides to shield us from our immediately-adjacent neighbors. I am building the privacy screens as shown in the attached pictures. I would also like to replicate the lighting.

Has anyone seen a sconce like this that can be attached directly to a 4x4 post? I assume the junction box is built into the mounting plate of the fixture, since there would not be enough space in the 4x4 post to mount any sort of junction box (and you can see that the fixture mount is actually less than the 3.5" width of the post).

I have searched and searched and can't find any exterior sconces that have this small of a mounting plate and a built in junction box. Any ideas??
