5" Brass Kapala Incense Burner Handmade from Nepal

This Nepalese brass incense burner, known as a kapala, stands 5 inches tall with a sturdy footprint of 3.5 by 3 inches. The hand cast brass vessel captures the traditional form prized in Himalayan households and meditation spaces, designed to hold incense sticks or coils as they burn. Its proportions feel substantial in the hand yet compact enough for a shelf, altar, or bedside table.

The brass develops a warm patina over time, growing richer with use and age. Cast by hand in Nepal, each kapala carries the mark of its maker in slight variations of weight and surface texture. The piece functions equally well as a working incense holder or as sculptural decor in spaces where you want to signal intention and contemplative practice.
