Notes on support and decorations | This incense burner has two squared compartments, decorated with simplified false windows motifs and squared dentils. The truncated pyramidal base is preserved under the bigger compartment and is decorated with steps. Antonini remarks that the smaller compartment was probably fixed above a second base. Some traces of red paint are preserved. |
