The cover of this hill censer depicts the mystical overlapping peaks of Mount Peng, regarded in Han dynasty Daoist tradition as a paradise realm for the spirits of immortals. Perhaps due to the popularity of this motif, there are several comparable Han dynasty censers; see the British Museum collection hill censer, (Museum no. 1936,1118.52) of similar simple stem-goblet form. Another classic stemmed goblet boshanlu but with a bird finial is illustrated by H. Brinker in Bronzen aus dem alten China, Zurich, 1975, p.105, no. 57. See the boshanlu censer with an elaborate bird stem in the Avery Brundage Collection, illustrated in Ancient Chinese Bronzes in the Avery Brundage Collection, California, 1966, pp.159-160. Also see a bird finial example in the Sze Yuan Tang Archaic Bronze Collection sold at Christie's New York, 16 September 2010, lot 890; and a censer and dish sold at Christie's New York, 19-20 September 2013, lot 1495.
