Special Incense Burner

Materials: Ceramic with enamel paint

Our handcrafted incense burners are more than just decorative objects; they are pieces filled with history and tradition. Made by talented Guatemalan artisans, these incense burners reflect centuries of Maya culture and spirituality.

In ancient Maya civilization, incense burners played a crucial role in religious ceremonies and rituals. Used to burn copal, a sacred resin, the Maya believed that the smoke carried their prayers and offerings to the gods. These objects were crafted with great care and adorned with symbols and figures representing deities and natural elements.

Today, incense burners remain important in Guatemalan culture. They are used in ceremonies in both indigenous communities and religious celebrations, symbolizing the connection between heaven and earth. Traditional designs are preserved, incorporating ancestral motifs that honor Maya roots.
