Description
-
Rather oddly framed image that shows the left half of an altar with a bowl at center and a three-footed incence burner (or ting) at left. Behind the altar platform are square panels, almost like windows. Above it is a horizontal cloth hanging with Chinese characters on it. In the left background is an elaborately carved doorway.
