19th Century Chinese Alter table
wood
3'2" W x 11'7" L x 2'3" D (97 x 353 x 70 cm).
Artfully carved geometric designs and upward scrolls on on both ends, with richly layered red-brown patina reflecting history and use.
The lattice panels contain the Buddhist character wàn, which means “conducive to well-being” and is an ancient symbol of prosperity and good fortune. It represents the revolving sun, fire or life. In the Buddhist tradition, it symbolizes the feet, or the footprints, of the Buddha. It is often placed at the beginning and end of inscriptions, and modern Tibetan Buddhists use it as a clothing decoration.
