Brass incense boat, 16th century
Set on a stepped foot, this incense boat is oval shaped. The symmetrical opening lid is slightly curved. Textured with tiny dots, it is ornamented with large fleur-de-lys inscribed in rhombuses pattern, and a swelled frieze runs on the edge. The mobile part of the lid is equiped with a lion shaped little handle.
Good condition. The mobile part of the lid is a little bit out of shape, and reveals two slight fissures near the hinge. The whole thing is solid nonetheless.
