Description from the seller

This beautiful folding wooden meditation table is the same type of table used in Buddhist monasteries for practice, meditation and the study of texts.

Crafted by hand, it features rich carved and painted ornamentation, with two elephants depicted on the front panel, surrounded by traditional decorative motifs and details in tones of red, green, gold and natural wood.

The table can be used during meditative practice as a stand for Tibetan bowls, malas, incense and other practice objects, but also to support sacred texts, Buddhist books or sādhanā during reading and recitation.

The folding structure makes it particularly functional: it can be easily opened when needed and closed to be stored or transported, occupying only 11 cm of depth.

The combination of its traditional function, artisanal craftsmanship and the richness of the decorations makes this table a valuable element for creating a space dedicated to meditation, study and Buddhist practice.
