Some altars need one large piece to build around rather than several small ones competing for attention, and at 6 inches across, this Pentagram tile is sized for that role. Silver-plated over solid brass, it carries an etched five-pointed star that holds its detail permanently, rather than a printed design that can wear thin with handling.
Because it's the largest tile in this collection, it works two ways: as a standalone focal point on its own stand or cloth, or as a functional base generous enough to hold a candle, a crystal, and a small offering dish at the same time without crowding. Either way, the etched Pentagram gives the surface a clear, permanent point of symbolism rather than a fading print.
Its size also makes it a natural pairing for a broader altar setup, sitting comfortably alongside taller items or an Essential Oil collection used to scent the room during practice. The polished silver-plated finish over brass gives it a bright, reflective look that holds up to regular use far better than unfinished metal.
Treat it as decorative rather than heat-rated: keep open flame or very hot items off the bare surface, and use a heat-resistant holder underneath candles or incense burners instead. Wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth and store it indoors, away from prolonged humidity, to help the plating resist tarnish over time.
Because of its size, it also works well as a standalone gift for someone furnishing a new altar from scratch, giving them one substantial, finished piece to build around rather than a pile of small accessories to assemble themselves.
Given its larger, heavier build, handle it with two hands when moving it between setups.
