Objects of this type with pierced hardstone centers and bell-hung pagoda roofs could be used as censers and were placed near the throne to emit a pleasant sandalwood fragrance. A similar pair shown on tables flanking a throne in the Palace of Eternal Spring (Chang chun gong), one of the Six West Palaces in the Forbidden City, Beijing is illustrated in Classics of the Forbidden City - Life in the Forbidden City of Qing Dynasty, Beijing, 2007, p. 131, fig. 195.
