Large Tibetan incense burner with cloud decoration

This decorative incense burner is traditionally handcrafted in Nepal. It is made of wood, painted with Tibetan cloud motifs and has a removable lid with an elongated opening.

The inner surface is lined with metal. Usually 1-2 cm of sand is filled into the censer. The incense - e.g. powder or incense strings - is burnt directly on the sand and the smoke rises through the opening in the lid to the outside. Incense sticks can be inserted into the sand through the opening in the lid.

Dimensions: width 24 cm, height 7 cm, depth 6.5 cm.
