Incense Burner (Boshan Lu)
A conical bronze incense burner shaped like a mountain peak, its tiered sides pierced with openwork and carved with small mountain ridges. Green patina covers the metal, and small figures and animals appear among the cut-out forms, with a flared base at the bottom.
Look closer: Tiny figures and animals sit inside the pierced openings near the base.
