This set of seven handcrafted incense holders, from India, features a heart-shaped design, each carved from soapstone and representing a main chakra. They are functional pieces for incense sticks and decorative items that add a symbolic touch to any space.
Main features:
Material and artisanal technique:
Each piece in this set is made of soapstone, also known as steatite, a material traditionally used in Indian craftsmanship due to its softness that facilitates carving. The manual work is evident in the polishing and delicate engravings that each incense holder presents and represents the seven main chakras. Each piece is painted in a distinct and vibrant color.
Symbolism:
Chakras are, according to the esoteric field, centers of vital energy in the body. Traditionally, each chakra is associated with aspects of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Functionality:
These pieces are designed to hold incense sticks. Their main function is decorative and to support the stick; they are not intended to collect ashes, which will fall around the base of the heart.
To consider:
The pieces shown in the images are for sample purposes only. Soapstone, as a natural stone, presents variations in color, veining, and tone between units. The colors of the pieces may differ from the tones usually associated with each chakra, which is inherent to the artisanal nature of the product. Asymmetries and irregularities typical of manual carving may exist. The incense visible in the images is not part of the product.
