Split JSON object attributes out as key-value

I have a JSON object of currency conversion rates as the event, which looks like

{
  "base": "USD",
  "rates": {
    "GBP": 1.6,
    "ZAR": 10.2
  }
}

I want to pull the rates out as a table to look like

Currency      Rate
========      ====
GBP            1.6
ZAR           10.2

I can't figure out how to pull out the attribute as a column

How's this look?

sourcetype=your_json | head 1
| spath output=gbp path=rates{}.GBP
| spath output=zar path=rates{}.ZAR
| table gbp, zar
