This brass bowl with a star and floral design can be used for the burning of incense cones and resin, or to burn charcoal discs in. It comes as two parts, the detachable lid sits on the base and the smoke escapes through the small holes at the top - using the lid means the smoke can go gently and not all at once but you can leave the lid off if you choose to. The holes are in the shape of stars around the lid and there is a floral design within the brass.
You can put a small amount of sand, ash or a dry grain such as rice at the bottom of the burner to help improve the air flow, especially with a cone. This can also help it to burn and protect the burner from the heat.
Size of Burner Total height 8cm, diameter of base approx 9.5cm, central cup approx 8cm.
Country of Origin: India
Safety Note: Before use, place on a heat resistant surface as the bottom will become very hot if used for charcoal.

More About the Symbol of a Star
When many of us in the west think of the star as a symbol the first one that comes to mind is the star that announced to the wise men the birth of Jesus Christ. As such we connect the star with hope and prophecy and we begin its association through countless civilisations with mysticism, cosmic forces and universal mystery. The Mayans and Egyptians are known to have mirrored star constellations in the arrangement of their pyramids and some Native American tribes see the stars as the souls of their ancestors watching over them.
The star is a symbol of something much greater than ourselves because it has a connection with the very foundation of life, with the very beginnings of the universe, and how creation actually started. The mystery lies in how light came from darkness. In many traditions there was a blackness, a void, and from this void creation sprang. Stars and suns are widely seen to be part of this moment. The star signals a belief in the ability of something to come from nothing - a belief in miracles. A star is like saying 'yes' to life. It is like a positive affirmation, saying that you are always open to the unexpected.

Really pleased
Nice size and suitable for most needs. Really pleased with this burner and it looks great, too. I looked at many websites to obtain an incense burner of a decent size to replace my previous one and found it difficult to find the right burner with good dimensions, and particularly at a reasonable price. Found this one here at Holistic Shop. Really looks good and I am happy with it.
