Brass Hanging Incense Burner, Triple Moon Thurible

Light your incense and this brass hanging incense burner turns the rising smoke into a small ceremony. The star-cut vents let it drift out softly, while the Triple Moon crown gives the piece a quiet lunar presence for meditation, altar work, or a still corner of the room.

Smoke, shadow and brass

• The hanging form feels more ceremonial than a flat tray, made to be lifted, carried, or placed as a focal point.
• Star-shaped openings break the smoke into gentle threads, adding movement without making the burner feel busy.
• The Triple Moon symbol brings a clear ritual mood, with Maiden, Mother and Crone held together in one simple motif.
• Brass gives the piece warmth in the light, with a golden tone that suits candles, crystals and darker altar cloths.
• Used as a thurible, it keeps the incense contained while still letting the smoke become part of the atmosphere.

Brass with a lunar design

Made from brass, this piece belongs to a traditional Indian range of incense burners. The surface has the warm, reflective character that makes brass so well suited to ritual objects, catching candlelight and soft room light with a gentle glow.

The design is centred on the Three Phase Moon, with star-cut vents worked into the body so smoke can move through the burner rather than simply rise from an open dish.

Using it for incense ritual

An incense burner is an unheated holder for lit incense. The incense itself creates the smoke, while the burner helps contain ash and gives the ritual a clear place to happen.

Use it on or above a heat-safe surface, away from loose fabrics, draughts, children and pets. Let the brass cool fully before emptying ash or moving it after use.

Care for the brass

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use once cool. Brass naturally changes tone with handling and age, so a gentle deepening of colour is part of its character.

Keep it dry between uses. Avoid abrasive cleaning, as this can mark the surface and soften the detail of the design.

The moon in ritual context

The Triple Moon is commonly read as a symbol of the lunar cycle, with Maiden, Mother and Crone representing waxing, full and waning phases. It is often chosen for spaces connected with reflection, intention-setting and seasonal ritual. Hanging incense burners, or thuribles, also have a long ritual lineage in temple and church settings, where fragrant smoke marks a pause in ordinary time. Here, those two ideas meet in a compact brass piece: smoke, metal, moon and movement brought into one object.

Common questions

Does this burner need a candle or electricity?
No. It is an unheated incense burner. The lit incense provides the smoke, and the brass burner holds it while ash collects inside.

Will the brass stay exactly the same colour?
Brass can deepen and mellow with age, touch and heat. Wiping it dry after use helps keep the surface clean while allowing a natural patina to develop over time.
