Carved Stone Incense Holder

Carved of gorora soapstone in a workshop in Agra, where the Taj Mahal stands as a stone carved marvel, the Carved Stone Incense Holder is steeped in heritage crafting. Multifunctional, it can be used with a tea light, or stick or cone incense. The removable egg-shaped dome features carved lattice work to release the light and/or aromatic smoke.

Who Made It: TARA Projects stands for "Trade Alternative Reform Action." Working in a 125-mile radius of Delhi, TARA is a fair trade program for community development and business. The organization enables hundreds of artisans who create some of the major handicraft lines of North India to sell their products internationally. TARA is one of the pioneering Indian organizations in the field of fair wages, non formal education programs for children and women, health and environmental awareness and further development for its member artisans. Artisan benefits from TARA include medical insurance, interest-free loans and advances, a savings program and skills training. Ten Thousand Villages has purchased products from TARA since 1986.
