VTG Pierced Brass Moroccan Hanging Lantern Incense Burner 8\" x 4\" 1960ish For Sale

My daughter bought this at a garage sale back in the 1990s when she was in college. She used it as a Christmas tree decoration. I'm unpacking the boxes college boxes she left here years ago - more treasures to come!

I've done a bit of research and I think it's a candle Holder or an incense burner and it's very Moroccan. It is brass and you can see some of the brass is actually oxidized to green in some areas, look closely at the photos.

This is a cone shaped item and there's a latch on the top that opens up so that you could put a candle inside or a cone of incense. it has a metal loop on the top so that it could be hung. It also has some garnet colored beads hanging off the bottom. There are red garnet colored baubles adorning the top of the piece.

This is about 8 inches long and 4 inches in diameter at the widest.it's in really great shape. It's very interesting and unusual - if you're looking for a cool ornament for your Christmas tree like my daughter was and you can use it for that. It also may be nice outside for incense to keep the bugs away.

Please view all the photos. They'll tell you more than I can and if you have any questions, contact me I'll be happy to help, thank you!
