Incense Holder

Nepali handmade metal incense holders or containers are popular traditional crafts in Nepal. They are often made from materials such as brass, copper, or silver, and are intricately designed with beautiful patterns and motifs. These incense holders are typically crafted by skilled artisans using traditional techniques passed down through generations. The process involves shaping the metal into the desired form, adding decorative elements, and often incorporating cultural symbols or religious motifs.

Nepali metal incense holders come in various shapes and sizes. Some common designs include cylindrical containers with lids, lotus-shaped holders, or intricate carved boxes. These holders are specifically designed to hold incense sticks, keeping them secure and providing a stable base for burning.

These handmade metal incense holders are not only functional but also serve as decorative pieces, adding a touch of elegance and cultural charm to any space. They can be found in local markets, handicraft stores, or online platforms specializing in Nepali crafts and artisanal products.

Centuries-Old Lost-Wax Metal Casting

Each sculpture at Handmade Handicraft is crafted using the ancient cire-perdue (lost-wax) technique, a craft perfected over a millennium by the Newar artisans of Patan. The process begins with sculpting beeswax and Himalayan tree resin by hand. A multi-layered clay mold is formed around the wax, which is melted away in the furnace, creating a void that is filled with molten red copper or bronze.

24K Mercury Gilding

Applied with pure gold leaf and fused using fire gilding for an ethereal sheen that endures for generations.

Cold-Gold Face Painting

The sacred facial features and serene gaze of deities are carefully rendered with powdered cold gold and natural pigments.

Hand-Chiseled Detailing

Intricate robes, mandalas, and jewels are carved by hand with miniature steel chisels and devotion.
