Antique Japanese Buddhist Altar Lacquered Offering Table
Lacquered with red, black, and gold, this antique Japanese Buddhist kyozukue offering table with a traditional shape is an important centerpiece for any home altar. Etched gold metal decorations carefully secured by tiny nails on all sides display elegant floral 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.
