Incense Boat |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: This incense boat, called a navicula (Latin for "little boat"), was used to store the incense that was burned as part of many church rituals, including the Mass. The boat has curved dragon-headed handles on the lid for the symbolic protection of the incense, a combination of frankincense and myrrh. The burning of incense was considered both an offering to God and an act of purification. |
