Image description

Mamluk Sultanate This spherical incense burner is decorated with tiny images of the planets (six, including the moon) around the sun. It was originally fitted with a small bowl set within gimbals. The gimbals kept the burning incense from spilling when the ball was rolled from guest to guest on festive occasions.
