Roman bronze decorated incense burner

"Decorated bronze Roman incense burner, 400 AD". The use of censers, also known as incense burners, became widespread in Christian worship after the reign of Emperor Constantine the Great. The burning of incense occupied a central place in Christian ritual and was more important in the Eastern than in the Western liturgy. The censers were hung in various places in the church. The first were open receptacles hanging from three chains, which were shaken during ceremonies to stir the coals and spread the incense.

Very good condition.
