This incense burner features a biconical pedestal base, resembling an hourglass, and a sculptural lid of theatrical style. The lid contains a central enclosure in which a figure is depicted holding, with both hands, ceremonial scepters topped with owl heads. The figure’s face appears fleshless, suggesting the use of a detachable red mask, complemented by a butterfly-shaped nose ornament. The headdress, forming the upper frame of the censer, is decorated with floral appliqués and two owl masks that flank a stylized face of a supernatural butterfly or a moth —an element symbolically associated with warfare.
