Byzantine Bronze Hanging Censer - Conical Form

Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Near East, Holy Land, early Byzantine Empire, ca. 6th to 8th century CE. A lovely bronze hanging censer of conical form displaying an annular platform under its circular base and thin walls that taper to a narrow, slightly flared rim. The ancient vessel is flanked by two elongated diamond-shaped pieces of bronze that project and curl at their top to form lugs. Each lug holds a sizable ring attached to a chain for suspension. The flared rim once had a lid with petite perforations to allow the incense's aroma to escape, and the chain, comprised of several links that stretch between the lugs, would allow the thurible to be swung during sacred ceremonies, filling the air with ethereal aromas and creating a multisensory religious experience for early Christians. Size without chain: 2.875" W x 3.875" H (7.3 cm x 9.8 cm); Size with chain: 17.25" H (43.8 cm)
