Tabletop clay incense holder shaped like a tortuga (turtle) handcrafted in the Pai Pai community of Baja, México. A two-piece set featuring natural burn marks on the clay from the ground-firing process. Remove the tortuga lid and place incense cones in the body. Once lit, the lid can be re-placed on the body.
Designed and made by Daria Mariscal in a remote town in northern Baja. Daria harvests and hand-processes local clay and shapes each piece before sun-drying, burnishing, and ground-firing. She is one of less than 200 members of the Pai Pai group, an indigenous community in Baja pre-dating the Spanish settlement.
Due to the handmade nature of the pieces, each plate will vary slightly in size, shape, and appearance.
