Crafted in the late 19th century, this altar table is distinguished by its hand-carved ruyi panel legs. A ruyi, meaning 'as desired' in Chinese, embodies both ceremonial significance in Chinese Buddhism and symbolizes good fortune in folklore. The table showcases a naturally aged wooden top and robust construction, adorned with delightful patinas, age-appropriate dents, and graceful signs of wear and tear.
