The precise function of this finely cast bronze incense burner, which could arguably be called a 'narcissus bowl', is not known, but it was probably made for the scholar's desk. The combination of long scaly chilong flanking the edges, and crisply articulated lingzhi-clouds, is particularly striking and auspicious. Another near-identical bronze incense burner of this form is illustrated in Paul Moss and Gerard Hawthorn, The Second Bronze Age. Later Chinese Metalwork, Sydney Moss Ltd., London, 1991, cat. no. 43 and on the cover.
