These elk scapula incense dishes are hand prepared ritual tools designed for smoke offerings, incense burning, and devotional work within a Norse pagan practice. Each scapula is ethically sourced, cleaned, and finished by hand, then burned or engraved with a specific symbol or stave tied to Norse belief and magical tradition. The natural curve of the bone creates a stable surface for incense sticks while allowing ash to fall cleanly into the dish.
Each piece is sold individually and is one of a kind. While all scapula share similar form and size, natural variation in shape, tone, and texture is expected and embraced. These are functional ritual tools intended for regular use, altar placement, or devotional offerings, not mass produced decor.
