A wood kneeling altar with a yellow-green padded knee rest. The altar has small cubbyhole under the top shelf. The shelf is slightly tilted down toward the knee pads. The bottom of the shelf and cubbyhole are supported by two curved arches on either side, attached to the side planks. On either side of the altar at the top of the side planks is a carved cross. A small rectangular support board is near the base of the altar and connects the two side planks. Kneepads are attached to the fixed base with two solid horizontal planks on either side. A small, wood, inverted arch support connects the knee rest to the vertical side planks.
