Thymiaterion

Incense Burner

Central part is square in plan. On each of the 4 sides of this part is a mask in relief, two types repeated once each, a male mask facing left in profile; a female(?) mask, frontal; both types dim. The upper part is incomplete but appears to have had 4 "horns". On two opposing sides of the upper part is the broad stub of a horizontally projecting element which is broken off. Within the upper part is a deep receptacle for the incense. The lower part broadens out from the central part in a steepslope on all 4 sides. The corners seem to have incised representations of pine cones.
