CHINESE DING TYPE BRONZE TRIPOD CENSER / SCENT BURNER /

Antique Chinese Ding-Type Bronze Tripod Censer with Fu Lion Finial, MING period.

Beautiful & ancient Ding censer cast with incisions and scrolls all around the body, slender handles, svastikas friezes, more scrolls and svastikas on the cover topped by a fierce and very expressive Fu lion finial.
