The answer is FLARES!! I saw these incense burners in the open courtyard inside the Forbidden City of Beijing, and the first thing came to my mind was that those ancient emperors must have been quite superstitious about what 's going on in the sky. I looked up to the sky through my camera's viewfinder and found my answers.

Vantines 1920's era incense burners. The one on the far left is a miniature replica of the botafumeiro incense burner at the Santiago de Compostela cathedral in Spain. The original botafumeiro is one of the largest incense burners in the world and takes several people to swing it!

Na Catedral de Santiago de Compostela, destaca-se o Botafumeiro, um famoso incensário da liturgia, presente desde os séculos XI ou XII. O Botafumeiro atual, de latão prateado, tem 160 cm de altura e pesa 62 kg vazio, podendo chegar a 100 kg cheio. Durante as cerimónias, é operado por oito "tiraboleiros", que fazem o incensário alcançar cerca de 68 km/h em arcos de até 65 metros, repetindo o movimento 17 vezes em frente ao altar-mor.
Além do seu propósito litúrgico de purificação e oração, o Botafumeiro tornou-se uma atração turística por direito próprio, sendo um dos elementos mais distintivos e admirados da Catedral de Santiago de Compostela.
Go back to the times of the ancients with the new Days of Yore event! As you know, we here at *paper moon* LOVE ancient cultures! So we were excited to be a part of this event.
Going back to my roots, Ancient Rome was picked as inspiration and we made *pm* Roman Incense Burners.
These incense burner sets come in both tall with bowl in stand just the bowl. Also smoke & smokeless versions of each! The smoke versions not only smoke, but the ashes smolder and glow. It's so pretty!
These were used in homes and in temples. Incense was really important to Romans, some traveling far and wide to get the best. Sometimes it was just dried herbs and flowers, but most time it was a combination of items and oils to make a resin that was lit. The stands were so that the smell would be about nose height at least.
There are 5 different sets to choose from!

Polychrome mask from an incense burner depicting the old god of fire, Huehuetéotl, one of the oldest deities in Mesoamerica. He was worshipped long before the establishment of Teotihuacan. In most representations, you can see his advanced age - here, his wrinkles are heavily stylized. Here he wears a feather crown (and huge earrings), but in many depictions, he wears a coal pan on his head. Huehuetéotl seems to have been a protection god for the home and fireplace.
Huehuetéotl's name literally means 'Old God'.
Teotihuacan, Mexico, ca. 450-750 CE. Ceramic and pigment.
