Combine functionality with design, showcasing meticulous carvings on smooth soapstone. The round silhouette provides a stable base for your incense.

These combination burners can be used to burn both incense sticks and cones.

The lotus symbol represents an array of concepts, depending on the school of thought. In Buddhism it is symbolic of purity of the body, speech and mind. Buddhists see this flower that floats above the muddy waters of attachment and desire to be symbolic of detachment. In Hinduism the lotus represents beauty, creation and awakening. These simple concepts stem from a complex history. In Egyptology, the lotus represents the sun. In Western culture the lotus has become a popular symbol of meditation and spiritual growth that may include many of these historical concepts.

Soapstone is classified as a soft, black, metamorphic rock. It is also called steatite or soaprock at times. Metamorphic rocks, such as this one, are formed from one type of rock through a physical change over time.
