Set a smouldering piece of Palo Santo into a dedicated palo santo holder and the ritual becomes quieter straight away. Teak wood gives the piece a warm, natural grain, while the engraved Hamsa design and raised metal rest turn a simple burning moment into something more intentional.

About this product

What it brings to the ritual
  • The wooden base feels grounded and permanent, made to live on a shelf, altar or quiet corner between uses.
  • A circular recess catches light ash and gives the holder a clear place for the ritual to settle.
  • The dark metal rest lifts the wood above the surface, so the smoke can rise cleanly through the open space.
  • The engraved Hamsa adds a visual centre, with fine linework that catches the light across the teak grain.
  • Wood resting on wood has a gentle simplicity, especially beside incense, candles or other mindful home pieces.
Teak wood with a Hamsa centre

The base is made from teak wood with a metal support for holding Palo Santo while it smoulders. The form is softly rounded, with a smooth, warm-toned surface and visible natural variation in the grain.

The Hamsa motif is engraved into the top of the holder. Across Middle Eastern and North African traditions, the Hamsa is widely recognised as a protective hand symbol, often used in jewellery, textiles and home objects. Here, it works as a decorative focal point.

How to use it with care

Light your Palo Santo, let the flame go out, then place the smouldering end so it rests safely on the metal support. Use the circular recess for light ash, and place the holder on a heat-safe surface while burning.

Never leave smouldering wood unattended. Wipe the teak with a dry cloth after use, and avoid soaking it, as natural wood does best with gentle, dry care.

Palo Santo in context

Palo Santo is often translated as ‘holy wood’ and has long been used in ritual and ceremonial settings by Indigenous communities in South America. Its scent is known for a sweet, earthy character when the wood is lit and allowed to smoulder. This holder brings that practice into a considered everyday setting: a place to pause, light the wood, set it down with attention, and let the smoke move through the room as part of a personal ritual.

Weight and details

This holder is made from teak wood and metal, weighs 190 g, and is made in Indonesia. It includes one wooden Palo Santo holder with an engraved Hamsa design and a raised metal rest.

Common questions

Can I use it for other incense?
It is designed as a Palo Santo holder. Use it for other incense only if the piece can rest securely on the metal support and ash falls safely into the recess.
Will the teak mark with use?
Natural wood can darken or mark if hot embers sit directly on it. Keep the smouldering end supported by the metal rest and use a heat-safe surface underneath.
