Oriental alter

Description

     I rented a room from an elderly woman over 20 years ago who had the most beautiful Oriental furnishings I had ever seen.  With each item she also had a story .  The womans husband was an officer in our military and they traveled all over the orient.  This item she had told me she purchased as an antique for 1500.00 I don't remember how old it is or which country she purchased it, the only thing I remember was that it cost three times the amount she paid to bring it to the United States.  Since she has passed I have inherited this piece of furniture and have been storing it for the last five years.  There are five letters under the bottom level of the roof that I dont know what they say.
