[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 10379522, member: 84"]Found this at my friend's thrift store today, and at firt I thought it was a Chinese umbrella stand & a friend thought it was a brass garbage can. But when I did a image search it came back as a N African table! Looking at it closer, it looks like theres a line of skinny elephants along the bottom so maybe so - but what do the unusual lines around the middle mean - they remind me of something Celtics? And in the middle of the top it looks like a Jewish star of David? Finally, it's tarnished inside it; how do I clean it or should I leave it as it is? Any info on it would be greatly appreciated! PS - first photos I took thinking it was a umbrella stand (if it's a table, it's awful small?)
