Carpenters Guild



Imagine intricately-carved wooden sedan chairs carried by devotees, making its way around the island, bearing statues of revered deities. And in the background, sounds of clashing cymbals and curious rhythms accompanying prayer chants ring loud.

That was usual scene in the olden days when deities from various temples all over the island would be “participate” in religious processions like a deity’s birthday or a temple’s anniversary. Though the sedan chairs are a rare sight now, these antiques - made about 140 years ago during the Qing Dynasty - are kept under lock and key at the Carpenters’ Guild or Lo Pan Hong.

The humble guild also houses many other antique religious paraphernalia like wooden sign boards and religious weapon replicas – all made more than a century ago.
