Description
The object consists of two distinct pieces, a perfume burner and a basin, placed one above the other and made inseparable by the glazing that covers both. The flat-bottomed basin, which rests on three hoofed feet, is flared, shallow and with very thick walls. On it rests the perfume burner, also a tripod with short hoofed feet. It has a bulbous shape, expanding at the bottom and narrowing towards the top, and is topped by a small flared neck. On one side, a triangular hole was used to insert the essences. The upper part of the body, for two-thirds, is perforated so as to form a repeated pattern of circular arcs alternating with jagged triangles.
