Om & Elephant Soapstone Oil Burner, Small 8cm

Product Overview

Small enough to hold in one hand, this 8 x 6.5cm soapstone burner is carved with the Om symbol and an elephant and coloured in deep red and green. It weighs 230g and suits essential oils or wax melts warmed over a tealight, so it works on a bedside table or bathroom shelf where a larger burner would crowd the space. Made in India.

The Story Behind the Design

Om is a sacred syllable in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, chanted at the start and close of prayers and meditation. Paired here with an elephant, a figure associated in Indian tradition with wisdom and good fortune, it brings together two of the most recognisable motifs in Indian decorative art.

FAQ

What does the Om symbol mean?
Om is a sacred sound in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, often chanted before and after prayer or meditation.

Should I use oils or wax melts?
Either works. Use a few drops of oil in water, or a single wax melt.

How do I use it safely?
Stand it on a flat, heat-resistant surface away from curtains and shelves above, keep the dish topped up so it never runs dry, and never leave a lit tealight unattended or within reach of children and pets.
