This incense burner in the shape of a rooster represents a high point of Edo enameling only rarely found on objects of this size. Except for the head and feet, the rooster's form was not molded but hammered from a sheet of copper alloy. The surface is embellished by intricate chasing on gilded and silvered copper. Theenameling is a result of the champlevé technique, in which silica paste colored by various metallic oxides is set in grooves that are hammered or chiseled out of the metal base, rather than being held by wire soldered onto the base, as in cloisonné.Free picture Incense Burner in the Shape of a Rooster integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
