The majority of these Tibetan Buddhist altars are from the monks' & lamas' residences in Upper Sange Monastery; the other are temple altars. All come with a certificate of authenticity brush-signed by a monk at that monastery. For the most part, these altars were used in the monastic residences as altars. Some came from older temples or from a lama who had died. Early in 2004, most of the residences at Upper Sange (Wutun in Chinese) Monastery were demolished to make way for new residential compounds. Because the new compounds were built with separate shrine- or meditation-rooms with built-in altars, these portable altars were no longer needed. Tibetans typically do not revere antiques the way Westerners do, so the furniture was willingly sold. In October of 2004, Baronet had the majority of these altar tables shipped to Vancouver, WA. A second shipment arrived in October of 2005 and our last shipment arrived in November of 2008.
