Featuring a thick and heavy texture, this bronze censer is made from pure copper. It features a round mouth, concave neck, and round bottom. The slightly bulging abdominal gradually slims downwards. The lines are smooth and graceful. There is a block of words inscribed on the bottom. There are two handles situated respectively on both sides. A “halberd” is a weapon used in ancient times. Bronze censer with halberd ears were gifts that emperors of the Ming Dynasty gave to the Ministry of War and the birthplaces of its ministers, alluding to the sense of national defense. This work features a deep gloss with no patterns. The simplicity of this incense burner is in line with the focus of the Qing Dynasty - pure and not flashy. The halberd ears highlight even more the solemn and extraordinary momentum.
