3. Prayer Wheel Candle Holder and Incense Burner. This is the most elaborate prayer wheel candle holder/incense burner I have yet seen.

It is inlaid with faux turquoise stones. It is also an incense burner and, with the stupa top remeoved, a candle holder. 13 1/2" (34 cm.) tall & 7" (18 cm.) in diameter at the base. The prayer wheel turns very easily and spins for a long time. $145. |

One of the ends opens to a drawer and the incense can either be inserted in the holes provided or laid flat on a bed of sand (or, better yet, the incense ash of all the incense that has been burned before -- that's the way the Tibetans do it). The smoke filters through a decorative floral panel on the top. SOLD. |
