About the Item

Dated to the early 20th century, this petite display stand is crafted of northern elmwood (yumu) with clean lines and perfect proportions. Once used as a tabletop altar for ancestor worship, we love this low stand as a pedestal for elevating a figure, vase, or other precious object.
