Incense burner

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows an incense burner by an unknown artist. The object is a small, three-legged, bronze-colored vessel with Arabic calligraphy etched into its exterior. The vessel has a wide mouth and a slightly narrower body. The interior and exterior of the vessel appear to have a dark patina. The three legs are short and sturdy, and the base of the vessel is wider than the legs. The Arabic calligraphy is gold-colored and appears to be a quote or phrase. The background of the image is white, suggesting that it may be a product photo or a museum exhibit.
