AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This bronze elephant aromatherapy stove is made of fine copper using the lost wax method. It has a solid and thick shape, and a natural and mellow dark brown bronze coating is formed on the surface. The shape of the elephant is realistic and vivid, with thick and steady limbs, a proboscis curled inward, and a gentle and peaceful expression. The forehead is engraved with floral and curly grass patterns; the saddle area on the back is hollowed out with open-carving techniques, and the pattern of entangled peonies is carved. When incense is burned, smoke slowly escapes from the hollows. The elephant back is equipped with an independent stove lid, which is fully carved with lotus petals and flower patterns, and has a gourd-shaped lid button on the top.
