Cylindrical incense holder by artist, unknown. Tall, brown, cylindrical object with a yellow rim at the top and a green rim at the bottom. The object is covered in intricate carvings depicting people and foliage. The carvings are raised and appear to be a landscape and figures scene.

The top and bottom rims appear to be made of a different material, possibly metal.
