Description from the seller
Incense Burner / Tibetan Ritual Incense Holder (Tibet / Nepal) in Bronze with Auspicious Symbols, Turquoise Stones and Elephant Head Feet
Impressive and detailed incense burner/support in a trough or canoe style, clearly rooted in the traditional Tibetan or Nepalese Buddhist art:

Ornamental Details: Inlays of turquoise-toned stones on the front and at the ends. On the elevated sides, raised relief figures of Buddha in meditation (Dhyana Mudra) are highlighted.
Support and Base: Resting on four slender bronze legs sculpted in the shape of elephant heads, lending great elegance and ceremonial stability to the piece.
Functionality: The inner channel is designed to hold incense sticks or cones during meditation rituals or as a purely decorative piece.

Style: Buddhist Ritual Art.
Materials: Bronze/brass alloy with a dark patina, copper and turquoise cabochon inlays (simulated or semiprecious).
