Incense burner with animal-mask handles
The object is a rounded bronze vessel with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The surface appears to be bronze with patches of gold leaf and a weathered, worn look. There are two handles, one on each side, in the form of animal masks connected to rings. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The vessel sits on a light gray surface.
