This is a Chinese bronze monk incense burner.
The figure depicts a seated monk in the lotus position (padmasana), wrapped in a loose robe/mantle
The hands are folded in anjali mudra (prayer gesture) in front of the chest
The face is deliberately kept blank/anonymous — an artistic choice that symbolizes the universality of meditation and enlightenment
The figure sits on a stylized rocky pedestal, referring to the Chinese tradition of depicting sages on mountaintops
This is an incense burner (xiāng lú, 香炉) — the hollow space in the chest/robe is intended to place incense cones
The smoke then curls mysteriously upward through the opening, giving a meditative effect.
This object can be shipped together with other items of mine in this auction so you only pay shipping costs once.
