This table folds into itself with first the sides folding into the top section, then the front part folding on top of those for easy transportation or storage. The carving is finely executed with an elaborate dragon swirling amongst waves and flowers at the centre of the front, flanked by two snow lions. Fine flowers decorate the sides. A more simple fret pattern is used around the top bottom. The main carvings are painted with rag dul, or Dutch gold powder, and the borders and top are red.
