A RARE BRONZE GOOSE-FORM CENSER
17TH-18TH CENTURY
The censer is made in two sections as a goose standing with its head turned to the side and its mouth open, the curled feathers of the wings and tail well cast. There is an arrangement of four small holes below the tail for the release of incense smoke, and an apocryphal Xuande mark is cast in a line on the breast. The figure is now attached to a marble base.
10 7/8 in. (27.7 cm.) long
