Skein Bowl

Description

This useful item of priestly regalia comes in a variety of forms from a perforated sphere on the end of a short rod to a brass dish used for holding aromatic oils to a wooden bowl that contains water or even blood. The vessel is often used to hold liao mixed with liquid which is drunk as part of the performance of a ceremony. Regardless of the extact shape it takes, it is used in religious ceremonies and directly empowers the ability of priests to place marks on the soul. It is often decorated with symbols of Ambition, Loyalty and Courage, or with symbols appropriate to the faith as a whole, especially the seven-spoked wheel. Many priests who own a righteous aspergil use it in all the ceremonies they perform, not just the testify ceremony.
