Incense Burner

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a black-and-white photograph of "Incense Burner" by an unknown artist. The object is a white, ceramic bowl with a wide mouth and a rounded body. The bowl has a small foot at the bottom and two handles on either side, which are shaped like animal heads. The handles are positioned at the middle of the bowl and are symmetrical. The bowl appears to be made of ceramic material and has a glossy finish. There is a small inscription on the front of the bowl, near the bottom, that reads "79.2.911". The background of the image is a plain gray surface, which the bowl is sitting on.
