Incense box
The Incense box by unknown artist shows a small, round, closed container. The lid is decorated with an embossed spiral pattern radiating from a small circle in the center to the edge. The spiral pattern features raised lines and shapes. The sides have two floral motifs on either side near the top. The object appears to have a rough texture. The object sits on a flat surface with a ruler or scale at the bottom. The image is in black and white.
