Image description

Mamluk incense burners became fashionable accessories of the wealthy in Renaissance Italy: Lorenzo de’ Medici owned three of them. Their prestige was enhanced by the burning of exotic imported aromatics such as aloes wood and ambergris. They were also used on the altars of draughty Northern cathedrals both to perfume the air and to warm the hands of the priests.
