Tibetan Beeswax Gem Filigree Butter Bowls (Pair, 4")

This pair of Tibetan temple-style butter bowls is richly adorned with old beeswax, mosaic gems, and delicate filigree work. Traditionally used on altars to hold butter lamps or offerings, these small bowls glow with jewel-like color and texture, even when empty.

Each bowl is encircled with tiny inset stones and metal filigree, creating a layered surface that catches the light from candles or daylight alike. Their compact size makes them easy to incorporate into a home shrine, meditation corner, or low table vignette, where they can hold tealights, incense cones, or small offerings.

Though rooted in worship-hall ritual, the pair works just as beautifully as decorative accents—adding a quiet sense of sanctity and detail to any space.
