Over three decades of research, writing and teaching have proven that one of the ways to make history engaging is to go beyond textbooks and look at objects. "Demonyo Tables" is the lead essay in this compilation that shows how a Chinese lion mask used as an ornament in early Philippine furniture has been misread and mislabeled as a demonyo or devil. Each artifact, now matter how seemingly insignificant, has a story to tell if the historian is curious enough to interrogate the object.
