View images at: HIPPY SMOKER/INCENSE BURNER
THESE GERMAN INCENSE BURNING FIGURINES WERE ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO BLESS AND KEEP EVIL SPIRITS OUT OF THE HOUSE. TODAY THEY ARE USED MORE FOR DECORATIVE AND AROMATIC PURPOSES. WHEN YOU SEPARATE THE TOP FROM THE BOTTOM, AN INCENSE CONE IS PLACED INSIDE. WHEN PUT BACK TOGETHER, IT APPEARS THAT THE HIPPY IS SMOKING. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE PIECE.
