Description from the seller
Two-part alloy incense burner featuring a crane and cloud motif on a tall pedestal. The circular base features an openwork cloud pattern and connects to an upward-rising, segmented column resembling bamboo, creating an elegant, ethereal silhouette. The cage-like central body is crafted with double-layered vertical openwork slats and adorned with intricate relief carvings of flowing clouds across both upper and lower sections, allowing for a layered, airy effect as smoke drifts through. The lid is crowned with a sculptural figure of an auspicious crane, vividly rendered with detailed plumage and a graceful, curved-neck stance.
