The shape of the censer and the handles is based on bronze prototypes such as the two bronze censers from the collection of Yang Ping Zhen illustrated in Jin Yu Qing Yan (Golden Jade and Green Smoke), National Museum of History, Taipei, 1996, pp. 226-7, nos. 159 and 160, where the handles are described as fish-shaped.
