    Naturally good and brightens up any space when tea lights are lit in them

    Got 2 sets of 4 each and they arrived intact. There were a few with little chips on them but this is expected as they are molded from natural pink salt. Standard tea lights fit nicely in all of them. Without doubt, these are real salt not synthetic as I noticed they 'sweat' when used. They all have…

    These Himalayan Salt Candle Holders are brilliant not only as a Candle Holder but as a mineral specimen as well -- just remember to keep them in a dry place as otherwise damp will eventually eat the Salt away. Please remember salt is hygroscopic i.e. loves water, will eventualy replace solid state…

    Love the glow

    Gives off a beautiful light. We found a puddle of water below it each morning, so it may need to be placed on a dish or plate.

A few things often kept alongside this piece.

About this product

What the elephant form brings to the room
  • The raised elephant figure gives the piece height and presence, so it reads as décor even when unlit.
  • Green patterned detailing on the elephant’s back and the flower-shaped holder adds colour without losing the aged brass warmth.
  • The curved trunk leads the eye towards the holder, turning a practical object into a small scene.
  • Dark brass tones and rubbed golden edges give it a softly timeworn look.
  • It keeps candle and incense ritual in one place, useful for a bedside table, meditation corner or low shelf.
Brass with aged green and gold detail

The piece is made from brass, with a darkened finish, green ornamentation and golden highlights visible across the elephant, base and holder. Its slender pedestal shape keeps the figure lifted, while the metal weight gives it a more substantial feel than a lightweight resin ornament.

Using it with flame and incense

Place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface before lighting anything. An incense holder is an unheated stand or tray: the incense itself provides the smoke, while the holder supports the stick or cone and helps manage falling ash.

For candle use, keep the flame clear of fabrics, books, curtains and dried botanicals. Never leave a candle or burning incense unattended, and allow the brass to cool before moving or cleaning it.

Elephant symbolism, softly held

Elephants are widely associated with memory, steadiness and loyalty, and they often appear in home objects as symbols of strength with gentleness. In Hindu visual culture, the elephant-headed Ganesha is traditionally linked with beginnings and the removal of obstacles, though this piece is an elephant form rather than a deity figure. Here, that symbolism sits quietly in the design: a poised animal, a lifted trunk, a small place for scent and light.

Size and details

This is the large version and weighs 370 g. It is made from brass and comes from Indonesia.

Common questions

Is the incense heated by the holder?
No. An incense burner or holder is not warmed from below; the lit incense stick or cone creates its own smoke.
Does brass need special care?
Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Brass can develop a patina over time, which many people enjoy as part of its character.
Can I leave it burning while I leave the room?
No. Burning incense and candles should always be kept in sight and placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
