Description
The nature of this item is very self explanatory in a number of ways. It is long and slim, which signify the specific areas in which it can be placed. Since the top only opens one way, it's easy to tell what the "front" of the holder it is so the user knows which way the holder is intended to be oriented (though it doesn't actually matter, as long as it has proper ventilation) while displayed. The fact that the box opens and closes and has holes in the top implies that the user can burn their incense either opened or closed, as there is proper ventelation both ways. The metal plates in the bottom indicate a place for the user to place and burn incense cones, and the small holes on either side indicate a place to insert a stick of incense. The opening is only large enough to hold the wooden end of the stick that doesn't have the incense rolled onto it, so the user doesn't have the opportunity to place it in backwards. There is also an indent/pattern at the base in the shape of an incense stick to further represent how the incense should lay in the holder.
