Indian Baijot or Low Table with Bun Feet

The same idea as its cousin, but older and warmer.

This baijot or low table of brass comes from Gujarat, India, and is dated in the record to the 18th century. Baijots are commonly low, practical stands used for seating, serving or holding devotional objects. A square top with a thin raised edge rests over a plain apron, and four turned bun feet bear the weight. The surface has a coppery, reddish tone, with soft scratches and a gentle shine in the center where hands have passed.

About 9 inches tall and 20 inches square. Make it a tray table, a plant stand, or an object of quiet reverence.
