Incence burner. Part a: main body is bulbous; neck is 3 cm high, 1.8 cm in diameter, with flat rim 2.5 cm. wide; three legs, 6 cm. high, are cast separately and screwed on; around burner are bands of incised and stamped designs including yin-yang symbol above which are panels of scenes; flat handles curving outward with bats at ends, 10.5 cm. high, are also cast separately and screwed to body. Lid (b) has straight sides and rounded top, highly perforated in dragon design, with large dragon head forming handle. Under body of burner is stamped 'Made in Korea'.
Use of the yi-yang symbol was banned during the Japanese occupation (1910-1945). The 'Made in Korea' mark also suggests that this piece was made before 1910, during the late 19th century influx of Europeans into Korea.
