A VERY RARE BRONZE ‘INVESTITURE OF THE GODS’ TRIPOD CENSER
LATE MING-EARLY QING DYNASTY, 17TH CENTURY
The globular censer is supported on three elephant-form feet, finely cast to the exterior in high relief depicting six characters from the sixteenth-century novel Fengshen Yanyi ‘Investiture of the Gods’, including the boy-deity Na Zha standing on fire-wheels, all engaged in different acts. The shoulders are flanked by elephant-head handles. The base is cast with an apocryphal two-character Xuande mark.
