The skull and crossbones is the West's plainest symbol: memento mori on medieval tombs, the Jolly Roger on pirate canvas, the poison label's universal warning, five centuries of the same two shapes saying the same honest thing, remember. Cast as an ashtray the emblem does what it always has, presiding over a small vice with a knowing look, and the tray does its practical work for cigarettes, cone incense on a sand bed, or the odds and ends every skull shelf accumulates. The resin caution above is the honest hardware note the trade should always give. The tray transforms nothing on its own, as we say plainly of every skull on the shelf; it keeps five centuries of the frankest emblem on the table, and grins about it.

1. Rest cigarettes in the notch; let embers die in the bowl.
2. For incense or charcoal, lay a bed of sand first; resin wants insulation.
3. Wipe clean when fully cool.

• Skulls Band Rolling Tray: the workbench beside the tray.
• Skull & Roses Wood Puzzle: the shelf's slow evening.
• Scented Incense Matches: the light for the tray.

Is it safe for incense?

With a sand bed, yes: resin is not fireproof like ceramic, so insulate embers and charcoal with sand or ash, said plainly.

What does the skull and crossbones mean?

Memento mori, five centuries running: tombs, pirate flags, and poison labels all using the same two shapes to say remember.

How big is it?

4 1/2 inches: working desk size for the smoker or the incense corner.
