Four poles wrapped with silk ribbons surround an altar of carved wood from which delicate garlands of flowering vines hang down to the ground. The altar is made from a great tree stump. On the flat surface can be seen the hundreds of rings that prove the age of this ancient tree. The base is carved with a delicate leaf pattern and is encrusted with sparkling emeralds.
