It consists of two parts made of carved Chenxiangmu wood. The upper part is in the form of a large bowl with rounded walls that tapers towards the mouth. The surface is decorated with details in low relief, showing a continuous scene of seven buddhas, seated on lotus thrones, with their hands forming various mudras. All of this takes place against a background of sinuous, auspicious clouds, framed by an upper border of ruyis and a lower border of small petals. The foot that supports the censer is free-standing, in the shape of an hourglass, which gives the piece greater stability. The outside of the piece has a network of twisted clouds with openwork, incised and embossed details that cover the entire piece except for the area in contact with the censer. On the base of the vessel there are three engraved inscriptions, the first of which is arranged in the form of a circle, to be read clockwise, which reads: ‘????????????????????????’. The next two inscriptions are arranged vertically in the centre of the circle; the first one consists of six lines with a total of 46 characters ‘??????,??????,????,?????????????,????,?????,???????’; and next to this is placed on the left side, the signature and seal ‘??’ ‘???’. Chenxiangmu wood is one of the most appreciated in Chinese culture for its medicinal and aromatic qualities, being even used as incense. There are few large-scale figures carved from this wood, as it is extremely rare. These types of objects are usually closely related to the Buddhist religion, where they are used as elements for worship, prayer and ceremony.
