Description from the seller

Japanese Copper Crane-Motif Palace Lantern Incense Burner

This incense burner features a modular design, separating into three distinct components: the lid, the body, and a bamboo-joint-shaped base. The lid is surmounted by a finial in the form of a crane with outstretched wings, while the body is intricately open-worked and carved with scenic landscapes on its sides. Supported by a tripod base, the piece as a whole emulates the aesthetic of a traditional palace lantern, characterized by its fluid and elegant lines. When burning spiral or stick incense, the smoke gently wafts through the openwork apertures, creating an atmosphere of serene tranquility.
