Tripod incense burner 14th century China This incense burner is an exquisite example of a literati bronze from the Yuan dynasty. In its simple but elegant form, this tripod creatively reinterprets archaic bronze prototypes. The Yuan bronze transforms the austere form and complex décor of ancient food vessels into a simpler, more modestly proportioned incense burner that evokes rather than replicates ancient prototypes. Likewise, the band of stylized dragons that encircles the vessel belly derives from antique models but is cast in low relief, which greatly enhances the tactile pleasure of handling such a piece.. Tripod incense burner. China. 14th century. Cast bronze. Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368). Metalwork
