About MeA cloisonné spherical censer made of metal and enamel consisting of an open work ball, made in two halves, each containing metal loops which move inside each other with a band of cloisonné around the middle and with two loops at apexes. The powdered incense was lit and remained stable due to the rolling mechanism which prevented it from falling out.
