AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This bronze incense burner is crafted in the form of a recumbent steed. The horse is depicted in a relaxed, tranquil posture with its head and neck slightly raised, defined by soft, fluid contours. An openwork saddle structure sits atop the horse’s back, topped with a spherical finial; the intricate, pierced patterns allow incense smoke to drift outward, seamlessly integrating the functional purpose of an incense burner with the artistry of animal sculpture.
The surface exhibits natural oxidation and traces of mottled gilding, with remnants of vermilion pigment still visible in certain areas. The openwork lid is detachable, and the piece remains structurally intact, free from any cracks or losses.
All items are carefully packaged to minimize the risk of damage during transit. Every order includes full shipment tracking, ensuring you can await the arrival of your piece with complete peace of mind.
