TEOTIHUACAN LIDDED INCENSARIO
ESCUINTLA STYLE, CLASSIC, CA. A.D. 450-650
With a deeply waisted cylindrical base applied with a decorative central bow and side flanges, the domed lid supporting the rectangular framework of a temple facade with a mask of a Teotihuacan deity recessed within, the mouth covered by a large butterfly nose ornament and sporting large ear ornaments with circular pendants, flanked by plumed fans, surmounted by a tall headdress with applique adornos including a row of feather-trimmed rosettes and a stylized owl's mask above, painted in red-orange, mustard yellow, lime green, white and black.
Such clay censers were used to burn incense such as copal which was placed in the bowl of the lower half. Yet it seems the emphasis was not the function of the braziers but on the scene that was constructed on top. These works of layered complexity were associated with the rituals of the elite as practiced in their palace compounds as well as offerings in their burials.
