This vessel was used for burning incense before a Buddhist icon. Kinzan-ji-type incense burners were chiefly used on the Korean peninsula. They are characterized by a wide brimmed mouth and a broad base. The outer surface of this item is covered with an inlay design. The image of a dragon on the base is an unusual feature.
