Message Hello Jason, Nuances of carving style, such as the bug-eyed creature at the base of the pedestal, suggest that your table probably was carved in Bali, though the horse-drawn carriage on the top certainly looks Chinese in spirit. The urge to embellish such things incongruously with voluptuous nudes, such as on the upper end of the pedestal, also seems to be one of those curious ailments afflicting many late 20th century Balinese woodcarvers.
