The Flower of Life geometry — an ancient pattern in your home
The Flower of Life is a geometric pattern of overlapping circles found in ancient temples and manuscripts. It is one of the oldest and most widely recognised forms of sacred geometry, a quiet reminder of the hidden order of nature. If, during meditation, you appreciate resting your eyes on a calm, symmetrical shape, this carving brings a quiet but intense presence to your shelf.
Indian papri elm — wood with character
The holder is made from papri (Holoptelea integrifolia) wood, carved by Indian craftsmen into the Flower of Life motif. This natural species is warm in tone, neither painted nor lacquered, so every piece carries its own grain and character. The 10 cm size fits comfortably on small shelves, a bedside table or the corner of a desk.
Fitting it into your daily routine
The groove accommodates both stick and cone incense. It provides a scented companion to morning breathing practice, yoga, evening reading or a quiet bath. The holder catches the ash so the carved surface and the area beneath stay clean.
Cleaning and care
Let the ash cool completely, then sweep it gently from the fine carving with a soft brush. Wipe the surface with a dry cloth, avoiding wet cleaning. Occasionally you may apply a thin layer of natural wood oil if you wish to feel a silkier finish.
Safety notes
Place the holder on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials. Never leave burning incense unattended and keep it out of reach of children and pets. The package contains one holder; incense sticks are sold separately.
