For a closely related incense burner found in the Sinan shipwreck in 1977, see the catalogue Sinan Shipwreck: Special Exhibition of Cultural Relics Found Off Sinan Cost, National Museum of Korea, Samhwa Publishing Co. Seoul, Korea, cat. no. 267.
Interestingly, in the same shipwreck a similar incense burner was found, but cast with rope-twist handles. The discovery of these two different incense burners in the same cargo seems to confirm the long held view that Chinese craftsmen, with their well developed business acumen, created a wide range of designs to cater for many different tastes.
