A rare Chinese inlaid bronze lion-form censer, Ming

H.: 35 cm - L.: 43 cm

Weight: 10,4 kg

This unusual censer is inlaid with gilt silver, silver, turquoise and champlevé enamel.

Condition: (UV-checked)
- Generally in good condition, presenting very well, with very nice patination.
- A casting flaw to the right hind leg.
- All four palms with old restorations, probably to refill some casting flaws.
- The copper plaques on the head should have been inlaid later, not original.

 品相：（已用紫外线光检查）
- 整体品相非常良好，包浆自然，正常磨损痕迹。
- 右侧后腿一处铸造失误。
- 四个脚掌都有老的修复，可能是填补铸造失误。
- 头上的几片错铜，应该是后配的。
