Description

Physical Description:

Small rectangular table with a beveled tabletop and beveled corners. Lightly decorated, the wood is tinted with a red color.

This is a Naju tray-table used for dining. The brim and the top are made as a whole piece. Grooves are cut in the top of each leg to grip aprons. The stretchers are also fixed to the bottom of each leg by nailing bamboo pegs from below.
