 This is one of the most outstanding Oribe incense containers of this type, with an interesting shape and pictorial design, a vivid glaze, and a soft finish. This incense container is in the shape of a chunky bronze weight, with a rounded lid and a small knob attached to the center of the lid. The lid and body are roughly decorated with an arabesque design in black lines on a white ground. The lid and body are decorated with black lines on a white background. The shallowly carved base of the body and lid are clay-like, revealing softly baked clay of a light grayish brown color.
