Soapstone Large Hamsa Incense Stand 18x15x1.2cm - 7 Chakras
This 18 x 15 cm hamsa-shaped soapstone incense holder is one of the more impressive hand-carved pieces in the range — substantial size, detailed carving, and the full seven-chakra symbolism in a single object. A good fit when you want a central, expressive piece for a meditation corner.
Hamsa meaning
The hamsa (also called the Hand of Fatima or khamsa) is an ancient protective symbol across the Middle East and India. The open palm represents protection, blessing, and warding off negativity. Jewish, Arab, and Hindu traditions all honour its meaning. This holder takes the hamsa form and decorates the palm with fine carved detail.
Seven chakras together
The seven chakra symbols and colours are hand-painted on the hamsa body — from the red root chakra up to the violet crown. Protection and energy system are present together in a single piece.
Soapstone
Soapstone is a soft, slightly waxy natural stone, ideal for hand carving. Indian stonemasons have shaped it for generations. Its softness allows detailed work, and its natural veining makes every piece unique. At 730 g, this example is a solid, grounded object.
Use and care
Insert an incense stick into the carved central hole. The stone warms slightly during use but does not get hot. Let it cool fully before emptying ash. Dust with a soft dry cloth; wipe with a damp cloth if needed. Avoid harsh chemicals and scrubbing the painted areas.
