This
incense-burner was cast in 1748. It stands 4.2 metres high with six
openings to let out flames.
Above each
opening two dragons playing with a pearl are cast in bas-relief, while
on the pedestal a design with three lions contesting for a ball is portrayed.
As one
of the two bronze tripods of its kind ever found in China, this is really
a treasure trove.
The other one stands in the imperial Garden in the Palace Museum.
