Todaiji Temple Shosoin: Incense Burner

APAN, Nara; 7th–9th century; Marble and bronze; H: 22.6 cm
This incense burner measures 22.6 cm high with a diameter of 39.3 cm. The bowl is shallow with a flat base, which is supported by five bronze legs in the form of muscular lions standing on their hind legs with tails curled upward. In between the lions are double-ring handles from which the burner could be suspended. The detail of the lions is in marked contrast with the plain bowl of the burner.
