Incense burner The traditional one is made of clay and it is called in my town Madkhan while it is called Majmar in other parts of Oman

Incense burner is used to burn incense or Bakhoor. Bakhoor is the Arabic name given to scented woodchips, soaked in fragrant oils and mixed with other natural ingredients. These scented chips are burned in the incense burners to perfume the house and clothing with the fragrance rich thick smoke. This is used specifically on special occasions like weddings or for welcoming guests or generally just to perfume the house. But many people nowadays use electrical incense burners because they are faster and safer to use. Others still like to use the traditional one because it is natural and burns Bakhoor better.

Traditional Mabkharah Omani women use it to put cothes on it and put the incense burner under it. Traditional Mabkharah Modern Mabkharah
