Antique Japanese Buddhist Altar Lacquered Offering Table
Painted with red, black, and gold lacquer, this antique Japanese Buddhist kyozukue offering table with a traditional shape is a stunning focal point in any home altar. Shining etched gold metal decorations carefully secured by tiny nails on all sides display elegant leafy designs.
This piece is typically placed in front of a Buddhist altar, and the original usage is for reading sutras, but it is also used as a stand for placing an incense burner or ring an orin bell (singing bowl). It is common to have a small drawer for items such as prayer beads and candles.
This particular table does not contain a drawer.
