Ritual Censer
The Ritual Censer by Asian artist is a bronze object resembling a hanging lantern. The object features a bulbous body with a footed base. The body features intricate floral patterning and a banded motif around its middle. The top of the object narrows into a neck adorned with more intricate patterning. The domed lid matches the body's pattern. Four chains hang from a domed cap at the top. The chains connect to a loop on the lid. The object appears to be hanging and casting a shadow on a plain surface.
