Soapstone Oil Burner 10cm - Hamsa - Five Colours

Product Overview

A 10 cm soapstone oil burner carved with a Hamsa (Hand of Fatima) design and painted in five colours across the surface. Soapstone is a soft metamorphic rock that carves with good detail and has a smooth, slightly waxy texture distinct from ceramic. The Hamsa motif is widely used across Middle Eastern and North African traditions as a symbol of protection. The upper dish holds water and essential oil; a tea light releases the scent.

About the design

The Hamsa is a palm-shaped motif used across Jewish, Islamic and various Mediterranean traditions. The five-colour painted version picks out the detail of the carved stone with bold colour.
