Dark brown metal object with a rounded base and a short stem supporting a bulbous container with horizontal ridges and a conical finial on top. A curved metal arm extends from the side of the container, attached to a second rounded base. The object, titled "Censer", by an unknown artist, appears to have a handle shaped like a mythical creature's head. The surface exhibits a worn, aged appearance with visible signs of patination. The object sits on a flat surface with a beige wall in the background.
