It is cast in resin and hand-painted, which keeps it light and allows fine detail; display it indoors. The Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, taught in northern India around the 5th century BCE. Statues show him in mudras, hand gestures that each carry a meaning, such as touching the earth or turning the wheel of the teachings. From the maker: An intricate and captivating backflow incense burner in a colourful Buddha and Lotus Leaf design. When the cone is lit the smoke from the cone cascades downwards in a mesmerising waterfall effect to pool at the bottom. Size: approximately 14 x 11 x 14cm, weighing about 500g. Allow for small variations between batches. ## Traditions (belief, not health claims) Incense holders have taken many forms, from Chinese bronze censers to the boat-shaped ash catchers of Indian homes. Backflow cones have a hollow core: the cooling smoke is heavier than air, so it sinks and pours over the burner's channels. Traditional meanings are offered for interest and reflection, not as a health claim. ## How to use - Empty ash once cool. - Never leave a lit flame unattended, and keep it away from curtains, children and pets. - Use backflow cones for the waterfall effect; ordinary cones and sticks smoke upward. - Set on a heat-proof spot away from draughts, which break up the flow of smoke. - Journalling idea: note the date, the moon phase and what you wished for, and look back a month later. - Storage: keep spares somewhere cool and dark so colours and scents stay fresh. - Ritual idea: write your intention on a slip of paper, read it aloud, then light the candle or incense. ## Care - Wipe resin build-up with a damp cloth once cool; a cotton bud reaches small channels. ## Policies - Delivery: UK delivery £3.95, free over £40, 2–5 working days. UK addresses only. - Returns: You can cancel within 14 days of delivery under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations; email hello@starseeduk.co.uk to arrange a return and we refund within 14 days of receiving it back. - Payment: Payment is by debit or credit card (and the wallets Shopify supports) through secure Shopify checkout. ## Questions and answers (17) ### What is the Colourful Buddha Backflow Incense Burner used for?
