Description
Photograph of interior view of a Chinese store, showing small altar in background, Chinatown, [s.d.]. In the foreground at left, the edge of a counter can be seen. Two pots with flowers sit on the edge of the counter. In the background, decorative wooden walls can be seen on either side of a rectangular entryway. Above the entryway, a large sign consisting of three Chinese characters are visible. Sashes hang down from either side of the sign. Within the small room beyond the entryway, a shrine is visible. At the center of the shrine, what appears to be an altar is visible. A decorative cloth is draped over the altar, and groups of flowers and food sit on its surface. Behind the altar, a large drawing flanked by bouquets of flowers can be seen.
