This compact incense box is made from ebony wood and decorated with a brass cut-out cover. It combines the functions of incense utensils and storage. The brass compartment design is inspired by the patterns of folding metal gates in Hong Kong. Simply light an incense and lay it on the fire-resistant fabrics inside the box. The fragrance of the incense can come through the decorative brass, while the compartment at the bottom provides storage for spare incense sticks.

Some historians suggest that Hong Kong's Chinese name was inspired by its export of fragrant incense.
