Hanging Brass Incense Burner - Cross

A trio of golden chains meets at one loop above this incense burner, which is made by hand in India in polished brass. The lid is crowned by a finial in the form of a cross, and cut-out stars release fragrant smoke as resin, a cone or charcoal burns inside.

It is made for prayer, ritual and meditation settings, and looks right above an altar or in a devotional corner at home. Consider it as a gift for a confirmation, a house blessing or a friend of faith.
