Long Description
The information left with this silver incense burner were notations of some plates in a book titled, "ĽArgenterie Péruvienne a ĽÉpoque Coloniale" (Peruvian Silver in Colonial Times) by Raoul d'. Harcourt. It looks very similar to the incense burner on Plate 1 (shown), without the ornate stand. It's just the top, round part on a triangular stand. Not quite as ornate as the one pictured.
