A heavy bronze censer with a black patina with an interesting round shape and two, almost winged arms.A heavy round bronze body with three equidistant feet. It has a dark black patina, but you can see the gold from the bronze beneath worn areas. The censer has two disproportionately long arms jutting out from the body with rectangular cut outs. There is a molded circle on the base with a rhomboid shape within it. The censer was definitely used because it is blackened and there is wear to the patina.MEASUREMENTS 6 ??a€ (15.9 cm) wide x 5a€ (12.7 cm) diameter x 4 3/8a€ (11.1 cm) tall. Weighs 1 lb 5.1 oz (600 g)CONDITION There are small patina losses but they dona€?t distract from the blackened look of the censer. There is no flange at the mouth, so it may never have had a lid.A well-used Japanese censer with interesting shape. I love the arms jutting out and its substantial weight.Item ID: V-1913
