The meaning of the Ganesha motif at home
The metal inlay shaped like Ganesha is a traditional Indian motif, for many a symbol of cheer and new beginnings. If you like objects with meaning, this 25 centimetre acacia holder is a kind choice. The details of the figure stand out on the light wood and look nice already in daylight.
The bond of acacia and metal
Acacia is a hardwood and tolerates daily use well. The metal Ganesha is fitted by hand into a groove cut into the light wood. You hold a piece whose every line you can see and touch. The matt surface is not slippery and stands firmly on a shelf or table.
Everyday use of the holder
You place one thin, long incense stick into the small hole, light the other end and blow out the flame. The 25 cm channel collects the ash so it does not fall on the table. It suits reading, yoga or quiet rest. Burn only one stick at a time so the holder lasts long for you.
Cleaning and care
Sweep the ash with a soft bristle brush or a dry cloth. Do not wash the wood as water can soak in. The Ganesha inlay needs no separate care and gains a fine patina over time which makes it nicer. A weekly dry dusting is enough for a long good look.
Who and which occasion
We recommend it to those who like fine eastern motifs and avoid showy decor. You may give it as a birthday gift, for a housewarming or to a close friend. It arrives wrapped in soft paper without a separate box, so you can place it right away.
You can find its place on a shelf or on the table; it can become a daily part of your home.
