Incense burner from Oman

I've had this old, crude incense holder for around 35 years, took a photo of it about two years ago and am now finally posting it : ) I tried burning a piece of Frankincense several times, but discovered that my kitchen walls were covered in tiny flecks of black afterwards, which was not good! Better to be done outdoors.


This is an interesting article from the BBC, from 9 February 2010, about Oman's Frankincense and also about the research into Frankincense and a possible cure for cancer. Also a link to the short video on YouTube, connected to the article.

""The records show that frankincense was produced here as far back as 7,000 BC."
