Incense burner

The incense burner, by an unknown artist, is a ceramic object with a rectangular top and a rounded middle section. The top section features a flat surface with a decorative border, adorned with four square panels showcasing carved designs, two of which appear to be masks. On either side of the top section are ornate handles. The middle section is rounded and has a large oval-shaped design with green and brown glaze. The base has a carved design with green and brown glaze and a rectangular cutout. The entire object has a weathered appearance with visible signs of aging and wear.
