This cloth, perfect for the medium sized table or altar, is a purple & black masterpiece. An ornate black celtic border boldly jumps off of the purple background, instantly catching the eye. As an altar piece, the shape of the inner circle and the arrangement of the knotwork also provides a guide to the placement of certain altar items. The edges of this cloth are tasseled, extending beyond its overall width of 16".

Altar Cloth

Altar Cloths are used by various religious groups to cover an altar. Christianity, ancient Judaism, Buddhism, and various forms of Paganism are among the world religions that use altar cloths. Because many altars are made of wood and are often ornate or one-of-a-kind, cloth is commonly used to protect the altar surface. In other cases, the cloth serves to beautify the rather mundane construction underneath. Covering an altar with cloth may also be a sign of respect towards the holiness of the altar.
For magical purposes different coloured cloths may be used to lend extra potency to the spells being performed.
