Description: | Incense box. Hemisperical with a tall spreading base and a cover of similar shape, having a projection above which would act as a foot when the cover is reversed. The exterior is covered with polychrome cloisonne enamel on a bright turquoise ground decorated with Indian lotus scrolls and borders of ju-i Sceptre heads, leaf-shaped lappets and prunus blossoms.
The shape of the box and cover are derived from the archaic Zhou dynasty bronze 'dou'.
