More Information
This table appears to have been part of a set that includes a bench, 2006.27.49. Like the bench, the table must have been more for display than function. The top would not have been convenient for most uses because it is decorated with inset pieces of mirror and is far from flat. It may be, though, that the top was intended to be covered by a sheet of glass.
