Zuiho - Incense burner - Bronze - Kirin finial

A tripod-style incense burner featuring two upright, skyward-reaching handles. The lid is openwork to allow for the release of smoke and is topped with a finial in the form of a qilin. The body of the burner is segmented into lobes, with the exterior surface decorated in relief with scrolling vine motifs. It exhibits signs of natural oxidation and minor wear. The piece comes with its original paulownia wood storage box (tomobako) and accompanying documentation. The structure is intact, the lid opens and closes smoothly, and there are no cracks or losses.
