Hand-crafted in Rajasthan, this rectangular pierced brass dhoop dāni—a ventilated casket traditionally used for burning powdered incense—also makes a charming tea-light lantern or trinket chest. Quatrefoil and diamond punch-work decorate every panel, letting aromatic smoke or candle-glow shimmer through star-shaped openings. An arched handle with twin finials crowns the hinged lid, and a shaped hasp secures the front, all finished in a warm unlacquered patina.
> Looking to build a collection? We have the same dhoop dāni design in oval and triangular forms—mix and match for a striking brass trio.
