| Description |
Since the dawn of time, in every part of the
world, man has worshiped his gods with the
burning of fragrant woods, oils and spices. The
ancient trade routes to the East did a thriving
business in incense, and the shrines and temples
of antiquity were laden with the precious smoke
from its burning. Centuries ago, some person
unknown placed incense in this brazier so that
the smoke would rise through the holes to
please some now-forgotten god. It was not
perhaps the gift of a wealthy person, yet in the
presence of this vessel we feel the power of
those ancient aspirations and dreams.
