This fanciful ceramic incense burner includes a larger hole sized for extruded Tibetan-style incense (5mm) and a smaller one for Indian-style rolled or resin sticks. Artisans in Nepal use localy sourced clay, custom-made molds and simple low-fire earthenware kilns to create functional and expressive burners. The elephant is a classic symbol of strength and wisdom, and represents the powers of Buddha.
