Chinese Travel Incense Box with 8 Grams Agar

Slim, polished lidded case that keeps its contents entirely to itself.

This travel incense box with 8 grams of agar is from China. Portable incense sets allow small amounts of fragrant wood to be carried and burned away from home, and agarwood is usually used in thin slivers or chips. Flat rectangular box in dark reddish-brown wood, with a slightly overhanging lid and a clean seam around the middle. The grain runs lengthwise and the finish is glossy, with crisp edges and no decoration. It is 4.6 inches long, 2.5 deep and 0.75 high.

Modest from the outside, and quite proud of that.
