    Description

    I love the energy of these prayer tables. They add a lot to your home/room.
    A stunning remarkable Antique Lama Monk prayer table/tea table with intricate and pierced carving
    on front panel and 'eternal knot 'design on two side panels. Traditional three sided low table for sitting monks.
    It is hand fashioned and painted usually by the monks themselves.  This beautiful table with wonderful peaceful energy has the Buddhist symbolism of Buddhist teachings. In the carvings in front panel is two deer, Ashoka blossoms, and well as other symbols of the main teachings of Buddhism.
    (The Ashoka, the second of the  trinity of holy flowers, sprouts from the holy water-font of the Amitayus).
    The top of the prayer table has lost most of the paint giving it a beautiful kind of patina.  It is put together with mortise and tenon joints.
    There is also an old repair to the carving on the front of the cabinet. (please see last picture where you can see two metal pins of sorts.
    The top of the table/altar also has old repairs.  (Old repairs are a sign of authenticity and age.)
    It is very solid piece of furniture and has lovely cabriole legs. Sturdy and a good weight.
