painted wood
Tibet, 15th-16th cent.
size: 67 x 30 cm; 58 cm high

Very elegant table, with unusual high legs. This table, especially the decoration on the legs, is remarkably similar to a table, although with shorter legs, illustrated in David Kamansky (ed.), Wooden Wonders, Tibetan Furniture in Secular and Religious Life, Pasadena/Chicago 2005, p. 181 (nr. 4), also dated 15th-16th cent.
