Brass Ball Incense Holder

I am a Brass Ball Incense Holder. Those good in sense use me for incense.

Curator's Notes 

Something so simple, almost unnoticeable, this little brass ball plays a big role when all you need is something to prop up a stick of incense. It needs a tray underneath to catch the ash so the ball itself never really is the center of attention – it’s more about the tray you choose to accompany it. The 'Oxidized Copper Trays' found here are an elegant option with its circular shape to mimic the spherical brass ball. The long and short 'Chikuseiko Incense' both fit in the ball as it has two openings with different diameters.
