I picked this table up at a garage sale and was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about it.

It's 20" high and 20" wide. The table top has a four-armed figure with a lion head. The bottom has four snakes.

I've also shown some pictures of the underside to hopefully help with dating it.

Hi'ya midwest,

Welcome to TNet and thanks for showing us your table. It was made in India. That is the god Vishnu Narasimha carved into the center of the top. Vishnu (Indian God) (Himalayan Art)

Appears to be from the late 19th century or early 20th century. Very hard to date these, I have had similar pieces like this before and have removed one screw too help me date it better you can sometimes tell the age from the screws or nails that are on the piece.
