This one mutters incantations. A rare old tribal incense vessel carved from a single block of weathered hardwood, it stands on three legs that are not legs at all but the bowed bodies of ancestral figures, their solemn faces gazing earthward beneath a wide ceremonial bowl. The surface wears a soft grey patina earned over decades of ritual smoke and reverent handling, the kind of finish no workshop can fake. This was made to hold burning resin and sacred intention, a working piece of ceremonial sculpture rather than a souvenir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStanding 22 cm tall on a 12 cm bowl and weighing around 1.2 kg, it is wonderfully tactile and quietly powerful. An optional companion mirror is available, hand-built from exotic hardwood with inlaid metalwork, should you wish to pair the sacred with the reflective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling \u0026amp; Collectors Inspiration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a piece for the collector who likes their interiors to have a pulse.
