This sculpture is a full-sized replica of bronze table from the Warring States period (475-221 BCE) of ancient China. The table is structured around an oxen (which forms the table top), and a tiger, who is climbing onto the table, with a second oxen underneath. It is an attractive piece of artwork.
The replica is located on a traffic island, at a busy intersection, outside the Yunnan Provincial Museum, in the city of Kunming. The traffic island cannot be entered on foot, it is filled with brightly coloured flowers. The original is on display in the Museum (in gallery).
