Buddha Leaf Tibetan Incense Burner — Bodhi Tree Leaf on a Metal Tray
The Buddha Leaf Tibetan incense burner is a narrow, leaf-shaped brass or metal tray evoking the stylised leaf of the Bodhi tree. This form is one of the most recurring motifs in Buddhist iconography: the Bodhi leaf is a symbol of enlightenment in the Buddhist tradition. This holder serves both a practical and symbolic role — it holds the incense stick, collects falling ash, and acts as a tangible reminder of one of Buddhism’s key symbols.
