Description from the seller
Ancient Chinese bronze censer (censer) incensed with a design that evokes the style of the ancient Chinese dynasties. Typically made of bronze, copper or "white copper" (an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc). It features intricate decorative elements, including a Foo Lion (or Qilin/Ti-hu) located on the lid as a protective knob.
Handles and decorations in the shape of animal heads, often identified as dragons, rhinoceroses, oxen or sheep.
Four legs or supporting feet decorated with archaic motifs.
These objects were historically used to burn incense or as ceremonial vessels (known as Zun). The lot will be carefully packed and shipped with reputable couriers and with online tracking.
For this lot, shipments outside the European Community are not made.
