Cultural icon

This large structure was designed in the familiar shape of an incense burner, used to burn the very fragrant oud (agarwood). This must be one of the most commonly sold items I've seen in the country, and I actually bought a very colorful and crafty one in Jeddah. This one had firewood in the top, although not sure they would ever light it!
