This brown ceramic incense holder is made especially for the safe burning of palo santo, the South American holy wood, in stick form. Its earthy, warm brown colour gives off a natural, quiet mood, and it measures about 12.5 × 3.5 cm.
Palo santo – the holy wood
Palo santo is the South American holy wood, of which the naturally fallen, aged wood is used for burning. Its sweet, woody, slightly citrus smoke is a traditional part of clearing a space and setting a mood in South America. The warm brown ceramic holder frames this ritual with understated elegance.
Use and care
Place the burning palo santo on the holder, on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from children and pets, and clear of flammable objects and draughts. After burning, let it cool completely, then wipe it with a soft cloth.
