Form and Design
The base is a palm-shaped depression from which a small figurine of the elephant-headed deity Ganesh rises. The antique patina highlights fine details and adds depth to the figure. The stone composite material is stable and weighty, keeping the holder secure during burning.

Insert the end of the incense stick into the palm's depression beside the Ganesh figure. Light the tip, blow out the flame, and let the smoke slowly envelop the figurine. Ash falls into the holder. Cone incense can also be placed on the free area of the palm.
