Elephant Incense Holder – Handmade Original Design
Elephant Incense Holder – Handmade Original Design
This elephant incense holder is part of our very first handmade animal collection. Designed to feel gentle, calm, and comforting, the elephant brings a quiet sense of warmth into everyday incense rituals.
With its soft form and balanced posture, it is not only a functional incense holder but also a small decorative companion for your home, desk, or meditation space.
Meaning & Inspiration
In Eastern culture, the elephant symbolizes good fortune, stability, and wisdom. It represents strength carried with gentleness and a calm, grounded spirit.
The gourd on the elephant’s back holds special meaning as well. Traditionally, the gourd is associated with blessings, harmony, and positive energy, believed to attract peace and ward off negativity.
This elephant was designed as a quiet guardian — a small presence that brings balance, protection, and calm into your space.
Size
Figurine:The elephant figurine measures approximately 4.5 × 4.5 × 5.5 cm.

Materials & Craftsmanship
Materials & Craftsmanship
Each piece is handcrafted through a multi-step artisanal process.
We begin by sculpting the original model using stone-plastic clay. A silicone mold is then created from this prototype, allowing us to carefully cast each piece using aroma plaster powder designed for fragrance diffusion.
After curing, every piece is hand-painted with acrylic paints, followed by a protective sealing layer to enhance durability while preserving the handmade texture.
This process ensures that every incense holder carries both craftsmanship and warmth, rather than the uniformity of mass production.
Handmade Nature & Imperfections
Handmade Nature & Imperfections
Each item is entirely handmade rather than machine-produced.
As a result, slight variations in shape, color depth, surface texture, or smoothness may occur. These subtle differences are a natural part of the handmade process and make each piece unique.
Minor unevenness in painting or surface finishing is not considered a defect, but a reflection of human craftsmanship. We kindly ask for your understanding and appreciation of the charm of handmade work.

Tips and answers for a perfect incense sticks experience.
Shu Incense – FAQ
How should I store the incense?
Keep your incense in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. It’s best to store the sticks inside our glass incense tube to protect their natural aroma and prevent moisture. Keep them out of reach of children and pets to avoid accidental ingestion. Proper storage helps maintain the fragrance and ensures a smooth burning experience.
How do I light the incense sticks?
Use the inner flame of a lighter to ignite the tip of the stick. Let it burn for a few seconds, then gently wave your hand to extinguish the flame. Place it on a heat-resistant incense holder in a well-ventilated room.
Is it safe for pregnant women, children, or pets?
Our incense is made from natural plant ingredients without synthetic chemicals. However, we recommend burning it in a well-ventilated area and avoiding direct smoke exposure for pregnant women, infants, and pets.
Is your incense handmade?
Yes. Each stick is handcrafted in small batches, allowing us to ensure quality, consistency, and the natural aroma of every burn.
