Soapstone Medium Hamsa Incense Stand 13x9cm - Tree of Life
The hamsa hand and the Tree of Life — two ancient symbols brought together in one hand-carved soapstone piece. At 13 x 9 cm, the medium format works well on a meditation altar, a shelf, or a bedside table, where the symbolism adds to the atmosphere of the space.
Tree of Life meaning
The Tree of Life is one of the oldest and most universal symbols across cultures — Celtic, Norse, Jewish Kabbalah, Hindu traditions, and many others all recognise it. The root, trunk, and crown together represent the connection of the underworld, earthly life, and the sky. Continuous growth stands for life, wisdom, and continuity.
Hamsa — protection and blessing
The open-palm hamsa is an ancient protective sign used in the Middle East and India. Carving the Tree of Life into its palm joins two layers of meaning: protection together with ongoing growth.
Soapstone
Soapstone is a soft, slightly waxy natural stone. Its softness allows the fine, detailed carving of the Tree's branches. Every piece is a natural stone, so shade and veining are unique.
How to use and care
Insert a stick into the central hole in the palm. Let the holder cool fully before emptying ash. Dust with a soft dry cloth; wipe with a damp cloth when needed. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive pads.
