Originally, these solid-cast bronzes were attached to the base of a special type of pyramid-shaped incense burner known from more complete examples in the Vatican Museums and in Olympia. Each leg consists of a carefully rendered lion's paw with wings surmounted by a nude youth with long hair. This same motif was used on the legs of candelabra and cistae (toiletries boxes).Free picture Bronze tripod base for a thymiaterion (incense burner) integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
