A VERY HEAVY SILVER AND GOLD-INLAID 'HORSE' CENSER Japan, 1750-1850, Edo period (1615-1868) The horse on all four legs appears to be moving only very slowly, possibly a reference to the weight of this censer. The mane and other details are finely incised while the eyes are inlaid with gold. A cloth is tied around the horse's waist, with silver-inlaid decorations and gilt Tokugawa mon to either side, the knot at the top forming the lid of the censer. HEIGHT 26.5 cm, LENGTH 47.5 cm WEIGHT 6.6 kg Condition: Good condition with minor wear, one very minor crack where the tail connects with the body, and another small and very minor structural crack to one of the legs. Minimal corrosion, mostly to the gilding of the Tokugawa emblem. Provenance: Hungarian private collection.
