These items are used in water blessing ceremonies in Buddhist belief, particularly in Thailand and Laos where Buddhist cultures are prominent. The item is made of plastic with a chrome finish and stands 8 inches tall.
The ceremony is part of Songkran, a traditional Thai festival, during which many Thais visit local temples to give alms to monks and spring-clean their homes in preparation for the new year. Songkran began as a Buddhist tradition, involving blessings of scented water poured over monks, which is then collected and poured over friends and family to symbolize humility and purification.
