DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Incense burner, formed as a figure group of a man with a dragon. Hard-paste porcelain with underglaze blue decoration.  Figure of a thin, open-mouthed, bald immortal sitting cross-legged on rocks beside a grimacing dragon. His right arm is raised with clenched fist, his left hand holds the dragon's horn. He is scantily draped with a tunic clasped at one shoulder and painted with blue clouds.  The fierce, finely moulded three-claw dragon, with teeth bared and scaly body is wrapped round the rocks.  The white glaze stops short of the foot, leaving a blue/grey band.  The body is hollow with three holes pierced in the rocks at the back.  Separate oval base (C.738-1991) separately catalogued.
