About the Item

A set of four gilt-bronze bells, each cast in a nearly spherical form with a small loop at the top for suspension and a narrow slit below for sound resonance. The surfaces show traces of original gilding, now softened with stable green and turquoise patina formed through long-term oxidation. The bodies are finely incised with cloud-scroll and feather-like motifs, executed with delicate handwork that follows the curvature of each bell. The patterns remain clear despite minor surface wear. The lower sections display localized corrosion and even verdigris, consistent with natural aging of authentic ancient bronze. Overall, the bells retain complete form and stable patina, exhibiting refined craftsmanship and surface characteristics that strongly support their authenticity and historical period.

Rare Boshan Incense Burner Yue Celadon, Jin dynasty
Located in seoul, KR
The Boshan incense burner is particularly notable among Han dynasty incense burners for its unique shape. Designed to resemble a mountain or even a mythical mountain, it is characterized by its pointed peaks that rise upwards. These peaks often function as vents for the smoke, creating an effect reminiscent of a volcanic eruption. The body of the incense burner is typically round, with multiple small peaks surrounding a central, larger peak. The material used is mainly ceramic, although there are instances where they were made of bronze. It is presumed that this incense burner was used for religious or ceremonial purposes during its time. The colors of these burners are usually in shades of pale green or greyish brown, with the application of glaze to achieve a variety of colors on occasion. Such incense burners are often found in tombs or ritual sites, and their purpose was to burn incense for purification of space or to produce pleasant aromas. The Boshan incense burner also represents a significant cultural heritage, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistic values of the period. Today, it is considered a quintessential example of ancient Chinese art. Period : Han-Jin Dynasty Type : Incense Burner Medium : Yue celadon...
