Antique Asian Ancestor Shrine

By Candy Capone, 20 June, 2012
Description

 This Ancestor Shrine was one of several items left beh the family of an old oriental woman who was put into a resthome where she died. It has three objects inside that are carved with writing (Japanese?) and a small drawer that has newspaper clippings.  I am very currious about its value and concerned that I should find a family member to forward it to.  Thank you for your time and welcome all imput.
