This is a very old bronze candle holder or incense burner.  It is cast in the very old tradition with a very unusual style.  It is obvious that is has been used for centuries. I acquired it coated with wax.  I used hot water to remove most of it but did not want to affect the rich patina.  I can't make out the designs on the center section, but it has Foo Dog heads just above the legs.  It stands 8 1/2" tall and is in amazing condition (leans slightly).  Circa probably late 18th early 19th century.
