A Sri Lankan coromandel wood and rosewood tripod table
Late 8th century
On three lion-paw feet, tilting scalloped top.

Although made for the Dutch on Ceylon, this tripod table clearly shows the influence of 18th century English designs for tea tables with a scalloped top and carved edges, made to tilt.
