Censer Frame with Inhabited Vine Scroll in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, January 2010
Censer Frame with Inhabited Vine Scroll
Copper alloy
Byzantine
Made 400-500
Accession # 63.150
The cavorting putti in the vine scroll represent the good life and may be associated with the retinue of Dionysos, the classical god of wine. Fragrant incense would have been burned on hot coals in the lost liner.
Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
