This bronze incense burner, crafted by Japanese artisan Shiramine, features a lion and beast-shaped tripod. The burner body is adorned with a pair of upright, upward-pointing handles, a rounded, bulging belly supported by three pointed feet, and possesses a stable and dignified appearance. The lid is carved with auspicious cloud patterns in openwork, and topped with a crouching lion as a knob. The body is inlaid with circular gold family crest decorations, showcasing a classic and elegant style. The lion knob exhibits minor wear, but the rest of the burner is in good condition. It combines aesthetics and practicality.
