Details
Incense burners were used as offering vessels to burn incense, and always appeared in general rituals to remove evil spirits and worldly thoughts. On top of the trumpet-shaped base, which was popular in the Goryeo age, sits a wide-rimmed bowl. The upper part, body, and remainder of the burner’s wide bowl were inlaid with silver lotus scroll designs and peonies.
