This example is presumed to have been part of a set with an animalshaped
lid, but only the body of the incense burner has survived. It
is highly similar in form to a celadon incense burner discovered at
the Ru kilns located in Henan Province in the Northern Song dynasty
in China, thereby demonstrating the close relationship with Ru ware
that was noted by Xu Jing, an envoy to Goryeo from Song China.
