A TIELIMU PERFUMIER AND A ZITAN ROOT INCENSE HOLDER

18TH-19TH CENTURY

With a fitted cover on each end, the cylindrical perfumier is carved with a scene of four figures in a rocky landscape with pine trees. The incense holder is worked to cleverly utilize the natural qualities of the zitan root, and is suggestive of craggy rockwork with stalks of bamboo to one side.

Perfumier: 5 7⁄8 in. (14.9 cm.) high

Incense Holder: 4 5⁄8 in. (11.9 cm.) high
