Japanese Bronze Incense Burner, Koro, w/ Kirin, Taisho Period, circa 1920 Japan
Located in Austin, TX
An elegant Japanese cast and lacquered bronze incense burner, koro, topped with a mythical kirin, Taisho Period, circa 1920, Japan.

The compressed body cast with a delightful scene of a pair of birds roosting on branches of flowering plum. A pair of monster masks adorn the sides.
