英文长介绍:This high-quality bronze incense burner is raised on four horse hoof-shaped feet seamlessly melding into the wide rectangular belly of the burner. Folding inward above the center of the belly, the burner terminates in a flat mouth topped with an original wooden lid, carved with a ruyi pattern. Decorating the top of the lid sits an exquisitely carved white jade yuan-bao with multiple treasures embedded in the jade. The sturdy appearance of this smooth-bodied burner is softened with "Crown" handles turning upwards in a gentle curve on either side. Luminous flakes of gold adorn the plain belly, shining brightly like snowflakes, likening to the technique name "Snowflake Gold". The bottom is inscribed with the four-character seal script "Xuan De Nian Zhi".
