The meaning of the protective eye motif
The protective eye, widely known as the Evil Eye, has been a symbol of protection against ill-wishing gazes for thousands of years in Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern cultures. If you love these old, calming symbols, this stone gently reminds your home of a peaceful, sheltered mood – without being flashy or loud.
Made of sandstone, hand-carved
The object is carved from natural sandstone, and the protective eye pattern is deeply engraved into its surface. Thanks to the fine grain and warm colour of sandstone, every piece is unique, and the carving stands out nicely on the pale base. Pleasant to the touch and slightly textured, you will immediately feel the calm weight of natural stone in your hand.
Two functions in a single small object
In the small upper bowl, you can drip essential oil mixed with water above a tealight – in a few minutes, the warmth disperses the scent in the room. In the lower groove, you can stand an incense stick, and the ash gathers in a channel carved into the stone, so it does not soil its surroundings.
When it will be your best companion
For evening rest, we recommend lavender or sandalwood scents. If you have moved into a new home or wish for a peaceful, protective mood near the entrance, the protective eye motif serves exactly this purpose. In the morning, a refreshing orange scent gives an awakening, cheerful tone to your day.
How to take care of it
After use, let it cool, then wipe with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Do not soak in water or put in a dishwasher, because the grainy structure of sandstone is sensitive. If dropped, it can chip, so it is worth placing on a stable surface where it can safely serve you.
