This short exploration of altars, chests, cabinets and tables and images used in worship in Tibetan Buddhism is sandwiched by a brief history of the religion's introduction in Lhasa and an account of China's takeover of Tibet in 1959. The inclusion of numerous vibrantly coloured photographs adds dimension to this concise study of Tibetan religious furniture and objects.
