Up. Identified. Lase. Fire. On the way.
Cad that I am I would use it as a chess table. (What with the horse/knight motif.)

Someone spent an ungodly amount of money to have that thing crated and shipped from Dubai. Its one of these 'seemed like a good idea at the time' things.

Sure is. There is another way how you can end up with one of these hideous things. You work in the emirates and are invited to some a-rabs mansion. To be nice and make small-talk, you comment on his beautiful camel table. You come back stateside to a message 'Hi, this is Bob from emirates air cargo in Baltimore. We have a shipment for you in the customs warehouse, please come up as soon as possible to sign for it.'

Oh, sure, and every day its stored, there is an additional storage fee. Now of course, you could just refuse to take delivery and tell them to take it up with the Sheik, but that would be rude and may affect your future business....

No camel would survive that. I just have this vision that a hub built that, and the wife said...no way will that be in my house. I say that because my father’s side of the fam, and my bros have made, and built so many things; over the years. I am glad I like what I have inherited. :lol:

Interestingly enough, it is not a unique piece. I did a search and found a couple very similar to it. One had a different color scheme though. The other said it had been in the family for over 40 years.
