# Death Tree Backflow Burner - 6 inch

The Death Tree Backflow Burner is an upright piece shaped as a hollow tree trunk, with a woman's skeletal figure emerging from the bark, her face and long flowing hair worked into the grain so the two forms read as one. Coiled roots wrap around the base, cradling small skulls that peer out from the gaps between them, while the finish is kept subtle, grey and bone-toned with darker shading pushed into the recesses so the sculptural detail carries the piece rather than the colour. The cone well sits at the top of the trunk, and the backflow smoke sinks through the hollow interior, spilling down through the roots to gather in a low mist at the base. It has real weight in the hand for its size, which keeps it planted on a surface rather than shifting when it is knocked.

Skeletal tree and memento mori imagery has long placed the fact of an ending alongside the idea of what follows it rather than against it, which is where its association with transformation and growth comes from, carried here by a tree form that reads as rooted and enduring rather than stark. The skulls gathered at the base are traditionally read as a reminder to stay grounded in the present, an anchor for reflection rather than a warning. The narrow footprint suits a shelf, a windowsill, or a working altar, anywhere a functional object is also meant to hold a viewer's attention.

Each piece is selected for its quality, functionality, and finish. Where a product includes coatings, treatments, or material enhancements, this is clearly disclosed within the product information. Every product is inspected to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding. Incense burns down from the tip, dropping hot ash and embers as it goes - place it in a stable, heat-resistant holder away from drafts and flammable materials, and out of reach of children and pets. Never leave burning incense unattended.
