Retaining the original polychrome painted finish, this unusually high and ornate altar table displays everted flanges on the plank top, which surmounts three drawers; each painted with double ruyi and persimmon calyx deigns. An unusually deep apron is flanked by broad, horse legs that are hand carved with folk scenes and small dragons at the top. Hand carved dragons follow the curving lines of the horse haunches and down the legs. Boldly painted with bright red and gilt details, this piece makes a huge visual statement.
