Censer with cover

Two small humanoid figures are carved into the piece. One figure stands on the left side with their left hand on the vessel. This figure has a shaved head and wears a robe. The second figure sits on top of the vessel's lid, slightly towards the back. This figure also wears a robe. The entire piece appears to be made of dark-colored metal. The background of the image is light gray.
