Incense Burner

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Incense Burner by Unknown, depicts a reddish-brown clay pot with a wide mouth and a flat rim. The body of the pot is rounded and features three humanoid figures carved into it, positioned around the circumference. Each figure has a large head, a small body, and raised arms. The figure on the left faces left, the central figure faces forward, and the figure on the right faces right. The background of the image is dark gray, transitioning to light gray towards the bottom. A shadow is cast by the pot onto the surface below it.
