Item description

Incense burner in finely chiseled patinated bronze with high relief decoration, made in Japan during the Meiji period (about 1830). The body, with a rotating decoration of snakes and branches, is supported by a base decorated with leaves and snakes. In the central body there is a large phoenix inside paulownia, a typical decorative element of the Meiji period. On the back is an exceptional chiseled work depicting dragons. To complete the piece, there is an openwork plate/lid in the upper part which acts both as a brazier but also as a vase or container. The phoenix and paulownia is a popular combination in Japanese art: the phoenix is ​​said to nest only in the branches of the paulownia, and the appearance of this creature heralds the beginning of a new era of peace and abundance. In original condition: excellent patina and minor scratches.
