Decorative incense holder with small round base, made from cut-out coconut shell, ingeniously shaped and carved. A wonderful re-purposing use of a waste product.
Coconut milk is key to much Balinese cooking which leaves a huge mountain of empty coconuts. Fortunately,
Bali is packed with creative artists who put their skills to good use producing a dizzying array of decorative and functional products.
Specifications
Approximate size: 11 x 4 cm. Made in Bali, Indonesia * There will be natural variation as coconuts grow to different sizes!
