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 centered around 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 spiritual lineage it was created within.
Once present in monasteries and homes alike, this vessel is more than a functional tool. It is a living relic — heavy with patina, marked with use, and imbued with decades of ritual presence. Every imperfection speaks to its life of devotion, anchoring it in both spiritual resonance and cultural history.

Note on Sacred Objects
Our pieces often originate in Buddhist traditions, yet their essence is universal. You do not need to be Buddhist — nor hold any specific beliefs — to welcome them into your life. These objects are not bound to religious worship; they are reminders of awareness, compassion, and our shared connection as human beings. Whether worn, carried, or placed in your space, they serve as anchors for mindfulness and presence — a quiet reminder of the truth that we are all connected.
