Harry is always playing with color, and this purple banana is no accident. Harry planned a series of Alter Fruit Incense Holders made in opposite colors. Banana are yellow, and the opposite of yellow is purple!
There is a tradition in many cultures of placing fruit at altars as an offering. There is even a tradition of ceramic altar fruit — representational offerings decorated in beautiful glazes that do not decompose. Our Altar Fruit Incense holder is part of this lineage — combining the altar fruit offering with incense holder function. This Altar Fruit Incense Holder comes permanently attached to a plate, to catch the ashes.
For use with traditional stick incense.
