Title: Tripod incense burner Period: Qing dynasty (1644–1911), Qianlong period (1736–95) Culture: China Medium: Cloisonné enamel, gilt bronze Dimensions: H. to knob 15 3/8 in. (39.1 cm); W. 8 5/8 in. (21.9 cm); Diam. of rim 8 in. (21.9 cm) Classification: Cloisonné Credit Line: Bequest of Stephen Whitney Phoenix, 1881 Accession Number: 81.1.625a, b Ancient ritual bronzes often served as prototypes for later metalwork, particularly those with ritual or ceremonial functions. The shape of this piece is based on an archaic tripod vessel known as a ding, which was used for holding or serving food and other offerings; however, this object functioned as an incense burner. The six-character mark on the raised gilt-bronze plaque identifies that it was from the imperial workshop in Beijing. Text from: www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/40621

Nike, the winged goddess of victory, forms the support of this thymiaterion or incense burner. A dove surmounts the openwork lid of the incense bowl. The goddess gestures with her right hand, while pulling her garment to the side with her left. The thymiaterion was originally brightly colored, and still retains traces of red and blue paint. This Nike's pose and costume are similar to contemporary large-scale marble statues of women known as korai. The shape of the censer and its openwork lid also suggest the influence of metal prototypes. Text from: www.getty.edu/art/collection/object/103WEF
