Lot 265: An Old Chinese Dynasty Bronze King Kong Lift Dragon Incense Burner
An Old Chinese Dynasty Bronze King Kong Lift Dragon Incense Burner, cast in patinated bronze. The censer features a robust, kneeling male figure with textured skin, holding aloft a lidded, footed vessel with two ornate handles. The vessel’s lid is intricately cast with relief depictions of stylized mythical beasts, likely dragons, amidst cloud-like forms, and features pierced openings for ventilation. The body of the vessel is decorated with continuous wave or cloud patterns in relief. No inherent text, hallmarks, or maker’s marks are discernible on the object itself. A white sticker with “12 12” and an orange sticker with “265” are affixed to the base, appearing to be modern inventory or price tags.
