The Copper Tibetan Burning Stone – Eight Symbols is a handcrafted incense holder plate formed from copper, metal and iron alloy, featuring the eight auspicious symbols of Buddhism in embossed form. The impressive proportions of the 31×9.5 cm size and the detailed craftsmanship testify to skilled artisan work. The burning stone can be used for placing incense sticks, briquettes or cone incense, while serving as a decorative ornament on an altar table or meditation corner.
The eight auspicious symbols in Tibetan tradition
The eight auspicious symbols of Tibetan Buddhism — the Parasol, the Golden Fish, the Vase of Ambrosia, the Lotus Flower, the White Conch, the Endless Knot, the Victory Banner and the Dharma Wheel — each carry a specific spiritual meaning. Together they symbolise happiness, abundance, long life and the path towards enlightenment. These symbols traditionally appear on gift items, ritual objects and temple decorations, and can now be admired on this table burning stone.
Use and care
Place the burning stone on a flat, heat-resistant surface before lighting incense. Copper naturally develops a patina over time, which is a natural process and only deepens the aged appearance. If you wish to maintain a bright surface, occasional treatment with a copper cleaner is recommended. The weight (340 g) and material of the piece provide stability — it does not slip and safely holds heavier types of incense too.
