此熏制作极为精细,作甪端蹲坐之状,侧首昂视,健硕雄壮,体型不大,但气宇不凡。眼窝深凹,双目圆瞪,炯炯有神,气势威严。独角后倚,双耳厚实,垂搭于脑,后脑、颈部鬃发披散,首为炉顶,腹部中空,可作放置熏香燃料,张口吐舌,獠牙毕露,以便香味飘散。背部脊骨凸显,前肢火云飘绕,花尾火焰状上飘,趾爪刻画有力,大有风驰电掣之感。 中国古代经常取各种瑞兽形象制成香熏。甪端,为中国古代传说中的神异之兽,头生一角是其最大特征。沈约在《宋书.符瑞志》曰:“甪端日行万八千里,又晓四夷之语,圣主在位明达方外幽远,则奉书而至。耶律楚材谓为旌星之精灵,异如鬼神。” 甪端是识贤聪慧的神兽,以甪端护卫在侧,显示皇帝为有道明君,身在宝座而晓天下事,做到八方归顺,四海来朝。故甪端崇拜在明清两代均为皇家所重视,内府专置有司负责制造事宜,以供内廷贵族之用。 附木质器座。
