Picked up this interesting table yesterday . I was wondering where it may originate from and whether it is actually a table or whether , as I suspect, it is a door or part of a screen or window shutter that has been adapted. It all looks very old and nothing appears to have been added recently . Dimensions 1.5 m x 650 mm and very low at 200 mm .

FWIW, it looks like legs were added later. My first impression was Indian, but I really have no idea.

Possibly so, possibly no.
The central motif in this projection displays carving that in Jawa would be interpreted as a representation of a Gunungan, along with a Tree of Life. In Javanese understanding these two forms are analogous. Javanese culture, material and otherwise, is heavily influenced by Indian culture. |
