Chinese Bronze Incense Burner with Turtle and Phoenix
This is a Chinese bronze incense burner (xianglu 香炉), a classic devotional and decorative object with rich symbolism.

In Chinese mythology the turtle bears the world on its back.

Phoenix-like birds (feng 凤) in the relief: symbol of immortality, rebirth, imperial dignity and harmony.
The swirling composition with flying birds and dragons is typical of Ming- or Qing-period style.
