Tripod incense burner

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Tripod incense burner by artist is teal with a glossy finish. The object has a wide mouth and a narrower body that tapers to three legs. Two small handles protrude from the top. A band of Greek key pattern encircles the body. The interior of the top appears to be unglazed and brown. Small red numbers are printed on the lower body. The background is gray.
