Incense Burner

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a silver incense burner by artist Taxco. The object is made of metal, likely silver, and has a domed lid with a short, ornate finial on top. The lid and body are decorated with intricate etchings and engravings featuring floral patterns and other designs. The burner has a wide, shallow dish-like base with a wavy edge and three short legs; one leg is shaped like an animal head. The base appears to have a small lip around the edge. The object sits on a white surface against a white background.
