Incense Burner

The Incense Burner by Isamu Noguchi, is a sculpture of a dark metal incense burner in the shape of a reclining figure. The object is positioned sideways and viewed slightly from above. The figure's head is on the right and its back and legs are on the left. The head has a smooth upper section with a rounded protrusion on top; the facial features are not defined. The body has a depression on the back and the right arm extends over the object on the left. The left arm is on top of the right arm. The curved base has three short legs at the bottom. The entire sculpture is on a light background. The object on the left appears to be a large piece of charcoal or unlit incense.
