This elegant small stand is colored in black and brown lacquer with finely carved designs inlaid with gold paint and delicate mother-of-pearl pieces. The triangular top is supported by three nearly straight legs decorated with peonies and floral sprays. To support an incense burner, this short stand would have been placed in a corner of a room or positioned atop another piece of furniture.
