Since ancient times copper has been known as the great healing and sacred metal. Fashioned into jewelry before recorded time, copper is the first metal our ancestors utilized. Metal workers were often regarded as magicians in early societies. Copper was also a symbol of power.
Created out of fine copper, this fantastic offering bowl offers the golden red finish copper is known for both within and without. On its outer surface this is accented by skillfully sculpted brass accents. These take the form of scroll work that decorates the bowl's rim and base, and intricate triple moon patterns, representing the Goddess, that run along the bowl's sides.
I have to tell you the first time I saw the picture of this bowl, I fell in love with it. It was different and unique. I have always found copper beautiful and with the brass trimmings it just stood out. I was quite pleased when the box arrived and I got to hold the offering bowl in my hand.
It is the perfect size for small offerings measuring 3” tall and 1 ¼” wide. It fits in the palm of my hand easily and would make a perfect addition to a traveling altar. I have been using this offering bowl for the last couple of months and here are several different ways I have put it to use.
~ As a tea light holder. By placing a small tea light in the center you will illuminate your altar with the light that reflects off the copper and brass. The light is warm and inviting and just a lovely addition to any altar.
~ It makes a perfect bowl to hold many different things, sea salt, dried herbs, soil, small rocks etc. I have also used it to hold water, but I empty it right after.
~ It also makes a wonderful bowl to hold your written intentions. I would advise against using it to burn herbs or anything else.
So I am quite please with this new addition to my altar.
This retails @ $12.95 and also comes in the Om Symbol, Tibetan Dragon and Triquetra which can be found here.
