Lot 324

Arte Islamica

An animal shaped bronze openwork censer with silver inlays traces Eastern Iran, 11th - 12th century

A censer in the shape of a feline, embellished with many floral motifs and a long three-pointed tail which maybe was used as handle. The object can be opened by means of a hinge near the neck, and the latter is decorated with Kufic inscriptions. Right under the hinge the incense burner is embellished with two painted animals. The "feline" has hollow eyes, and maybe the original object could be refined with two glazed ceramic inlaid – like the lot exposed in Rome during the exhibit "Arte della Civiltà Islamica", which ended last September. Another similar object is the one displayed at the Musée du Louvre (Accession Number AA19).
