Condition
Bon état général de conservation avec petits manques visibles, la coupole servant de couvercle cassée et collée a été restaurée de façon visible. Quelques petites appliques ornementales ont été refixées et parfois restaurées. Les appliques en forme de papillon ou d'oiseau aux corps circulaires devaient supporter autrefois des cercles de mica. La plaque rectangulaire à l'arrière de l'encensoir est restaurée à partir de six éléments originaux
Good condition overall with small losses visible. The domed lid is broken and glued and has been visibly restored. Some of the ornamental appliques have been reattached, and some have been restored. The butterfly or bird appliques with circular bodies once supported mica spheres (or discs?). The rectangular plate at the back of the censer is restored from six original pieces
