Tibetan folding altar and meditation table

This Tibetan altar piece of furniture is hand-painted, foldable and is characterized by detailed painting and intense colouring. The front is decorated with an expressive chappu - a stylized, fearsome face with a wide-open mouth, wide-open eyes and a flaming mane. This protective symbol, which is often used in Himalayan art, is said to ward off negative energies and spiritually purify the room.

The surrounding floral and ornamental patterns in red, green and gold are typical of Tibetan aesthetics and stand for luck, protection and wisdom. The altar can be folded up in the nomadic tradition and is therefore not only a ritual piece of furniture, but also practical for mobile applications or space-saving storage.

Made by Tibetan artisans in Nepal, it is made of high-quality wood and is artfully decorated with gold and traditional Thangka colors.
