Another example of tear-drop shape was included in the exhibition, Adornment for Eternity, Status and Rank in Chinese Ornament, Denver Art Museum, October 15, 1994-September 3, 1995, and illustrated by Julia M. White and Emma C. Bunker in the Catalogue, p. 186, no. 98, where the authors note that, "This ornament is a censer that would have been suspended by a hook from a belt or perhaps from a shawl. The censer would have contained fragrant leaves or other scented material to freshen the wearer's clothing"
