Tibetan copper incense burner with deer and wheel of life

This traditional Tibetan copper incense burner is elaborately crafted and richly decorated with symbolic motifs. Along the cylindrical body are finely embossed depictions of deer and the wheel of life, a central symbol of Tibetan Buddhism. The deer refer to harmony, mindfulness and the Buddha's first discourse, while the wheel of life embodies the cycle of existence, impermanence and spiritual knowledge.

The incense is lit in a drawer on the side. Openwork ornaments allow the incense smoke to escape gently and incense sticks to be inserted.
