This metal incense holder forms a finely detailed figure of Buddha and two offering hands; the hands act as a small tray that collects the ash of the burning incense. It is made for thinner incense sticks and measures about 9 × 4 cm.
Buddha, a symbol of peace
Buddha, the 'awakened one', is a symbol of peace, mindfulness and inner balance. His figure brings a warm, calming mood to a meditation corner and recalls the practice of attending to the present moment. The motif of the offering hands evokes the gesture of giving and respect.
Use and care
Place the burning incense on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from children and pets, and clear of flammable objects and draughts. After burning, let it cool, then wipe it with a soft cloth.
