Tripod-shaped brazier incense-burner, with religious inscription in Arabic characters, on wood base. The brazier has an archaistic style and its shape is inspired by the ancient bronze li-ding ritual tripods used for cooking cereals or meat destined for sacrificial banquets in the time of the Shang (XVI-1050 BC) and Zhou (1050-256 BC) dynasties.
