This brass incense burner has a long wooden handle and a pierced pentagram on the lid. The wooden handle keeps the hand at a safe distance from the heat, letting you carry the burner from room to room while resin or cone incense releases its fragrance. Made in India in a classic form often used in space-clearing rituals.
The pentagram motif
The five-pointed star is one of the oldest protective and elemental symbols. As a pierced opening it lets smoke and warm light pass through together, throwing a delicate pattern across nearby surfaces.
How to use it
Set a charcoal disc or resin in the bowl, light it carefully and close the lid. Hold the burner only by the wooden handle. Walk slowly through the rooms you wish to scent, then place it back on a stable heat-resistant surface. Always burn over a non-flammable base and let it cool completely before storing.
Where it belongs
House blessings, seasonal space-clearing, a longer evening ritual or a meditative refresh of the home before guests arrive. The handle makes it portable.
