content: Five fragments from a ceramic censer, or incense burning container. The largest fragment is 18 cm long by 10.5 cm wide and the smallest is 7.5 cm by 6 cm. The fragments all have significant molding details, with three pieces (including two rims) having a series of raised pyramidal spikes coming off the surface of the vessel. The interior of the largest section has black pigment drips, not forming a particular pattern. Another large piece appears to be the stand, which has a large open chamber on bottom with four oblong areas cut from the wall. The smallest piece is a partial rim fragment and has indented designs on the exterior.
