From around the 2nd century BCE, agarwood travelled along ancient trade routes to the Middle East and Europe. As the appreciation of incense grew, ceramic artisans developed a wide variety of incense burners designed to preserve its fragrance within interior spaces.
The Đông Sơn Drum Incense Burner by Bát Tràng Museum Atelier (BTMA) draws inspiration from the form of the Đông Sơn bronze drum, combining a Nghê finial with finely rendered raised motifs across the ceramic surface.
