This rare Tibetan incense burner, handcrafted in the 1960s, carries the dual essence of artistry and devotion. Its stamped copper surface is adorned with intricate motifs encircling the sacred mantra Om Mani Padme Hum — the timeless invocation of Avalokiteśvara, Bodhisattva of Compassion. Each detail reflects not only the maker’s hand but the centuries-old lineage of prayer within which it was created.
Once present in monasteries and homes alike, this vessel is more than a functional tool. It is a living relic — marked with use, burnished by decades of ritual, and imbued with the presence of offering. Its patina and imperfections testify to a life of devotion, anchoring it in both spiritual resonance and cultural memory.
