Light the cone, and the scent lifts in soft threads through the tiny perforations, settling the room with a quiet calm. Handcrafted in India from smooth mango wood, the towers feel warm to the touch, with a dark polished grain that suits everyday ritual. Across India, incense has long accompanied moments of prayer and reflection, and wooden holders like these continue that gentle tradition. 🌿
This pair of tall, tapering columns rests on square bases with beveled edges. Brass details catch the light—a small elephant inlay near the top and a brass-lined cup in the matching block for cone incense—while the flowing pattern of circular perforations releases a delicate, even waft of smoke. In Indian craft, the elephant symbolizes wisdom, patience, and good fortune; it is also associated with Ganesha, often kept as a respectful reminder of auspicious beginnings. 🐘
How to use
Place the brass-lined holder on a stable, heat-safe surface and set an incense cone in the recess.
Light the tip until it glows, then gently fan out the flame. Carefully lower the tower over the holder so the smoke drifts through the perforations.
Allow ash to cool fully before handling; wipe the brass cup and dust the wood as needed.
A thoughtful gift for anyone who enjoys quiet rituals, handcrafted detail, and a calm corner at home. 🎁
