Modeled, engraved and openwork perfume burner in bronze. Cylindrical base with flat bottom and flat rim on which a niche in the shape of a half dome. The opening is framed by a carved rim forming two opposing volutes, with two bird heads in the centre. On the rim: two bird heads with an excellent profile. At the top of the piece also a bird. The semi-dome is engraved (with bird heads, inscriptions and medallions) and divided into panels. Each panel has arabesques with fleurons, moulded in relief and openwork. Along the vertical opening there are also inscriptions on the rim of the base and on the side at the bottom. We also see incised medallions with symmetrical plants. In the background: small, engraved rosette with eight leaves. The three legs we usually see with this type of object are missing here.
