This artifact was excavated in 12, Dec. 1993 at the temple site near Naseong, Baekje and Tombs Park at Neungsan-ri. It was excavated along with 450 other artifacts. This is a large incense burner 64 cm in height and 11.8 kilograms in weight. There are four parts to this incense burner. The body and the lid are the main parts. The Chinese phoenix-shaped knob and the support plate are two other parts. There is scenery of 23 mountains shaping four to five layers of deep-mountain ranges on the lid. Five musicians with various instruments and sixteen other various characters are also illustrated. Thirty-nine animals including the Chinese phoenix, dragon, tiger, and deer are depicted. Six different trees, twelve boulders, trails, creeks, waterfalls, lakes, and other land features compose changing scenery. On top of the lid, a separate Chinese phoenix holding yeouiju between its beak and neck is mounted. It is standing up with its wings folded and tail raised. Such smoothness is a characteristic of Baekje Kingdom's artwork. Five holes are drilled on the lid, including one on the chest of the Chinese phoenix, to naturally ventilate the incense flow. The main body of the burner closely resembles a blossoming lotus flower. On the lateral surface, twenty-six different animals are depicted. The supporting plate is a dragon holding a blossoming lotus flower, which is the main body, with its mouth pointing upward.
It appears that this incense burner was influenced by a Chinese version called a baksan incense burner, but unlike the Chinese ones, the design of scenery is independent, three-dimensional, and realistic. The creativity and modeling is superb, and the illustration of Buddhism, Taoism, and other religious theology and beliefs demonstrates its complexity.
