Feline-Handled Incense Burner
The bronze incense burner is shaped like a cat. The cat's body is elongated, stretching from left to right, with its head facing right. The cat's front legs are extended forward and rest on a circular platform. The platform has a shallow depression in the center and is supported by three short legs. The cat's back legs are bent, with its paws resting on the ground. The cat wears a collar around its neck. The entire piece has a dark brown patina. The background is a plain gray color.
