About the Item

Thymiaterion, or incense burner, in patinated bronze, decorated with a central figure, probably a dancer, standing on a tripod foot with lion paws, and small sculptures of lions Above his head, a column ends with flower buds and open leaves (where the bowl containing the perfume was originally placed) and a bearded man, why not Velch, the god of Fire? Several Etruscan Thymaterion (period 6th/5th century BC) can be found in museum collections, such as the Met or the Louvre Museum.
