Incense Burner Scenes
Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 10 March 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.
This is a collage of the six different scenes around the incense burner I posted yesterday. Perhaps it was a story? We really do not know.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog; your comments are greatly appreciated. I apologize for not getting to all of your posts. I will visit as time permits.

I know, they're very, very different and we have no idea what the story behind them might be.

Pre-historical gargoyles, gosh I'm dying to know what they are...gorgeous piece, it's amazing...just a thought but they are so impressive, maybe you shouldn't show them like this....what am I saying, I love looking at them, but I mean, really...it's just so, so outworldly, so precious

You managed much better takes in closeup, I'm very glad you did it! After looking and looking at them....I think it is a fable about a frog and a fox. They are wearing masks by turns.......but what the story really is...I don't know!
I enjoyed this posting very much!

@Japanalia: I'm thrilled that you could see a "story" developing in these shots.
It's been wonderful to explore the various possibilities of the various pieces from Mike's family.

dear judy was looking back at some of your images,saw this one and it looks a lot like a mythical legendary animal called 'Qi lin' in chinese,it is an animal that has a dragon's head and a deer/lion's(cant rem which) body,which is scaled.And the creature on your bronze urn looked pretty like it.In Chinese legend,this animal is extremely formidable,rare and is supposed to be VERY VERY auspicious,brings good fortune even to those who catch a glimpse of it:)
