About this object
At one end, standing on the platform is an urn-shaped incense burner emitting a flame and supported by three lion's legs. The urn rests on a truncated fluted column on which hangs a swag of fruit and flowers. This end of the platform has four lion-paw feet. The connecting section of the platform is curved and decorated with a guilloche enclosing rosettes, on top, and acanthus scrolls in front. The section at the other end supports a pineapple in the round on a foot, is rectangular, and is decorated with square acanthus, and rests on three lion-paw feet. The plinth is plain and conforms to the shape of the platform. .1 faces to left
