Use your purple Crescent Moon carved stone bowl to burn smudging herbs like white sage (sold separately), or place white sand included, inside your bowl, as a protective heat layer to protect your furniture, when burning charcoal resins, or use as a stick and cone incense burner, allowing ash to fall into the sand. It can also be used as an altar offering bowl, prayer or meditation tool (non-impervious to water), allowing it to catch the ashes of your incenses and smudging herbs. Stunning craftsmanship, perfect addition for any altar.  Made of polished & dyed soapstone. Handcrafted. Minor flaws in workmanship are not considered a defect. 4" in diameter. Made in India.

Tip: push your enclosed sand into center of bowl to form a small mound to stand your 10" high sticks.
