The pierced domed cover is located within the opening to the burner by a recessed and tapering lip. A brass lotus bud finial and embossed collar are mounted at the upper most extreme.Additional brass elements forming 'shou' motifs are copper riveted in position.
The burner is complete with the original hand formed triple brass chain-link suspension and hook. Three hinged rings to the vessel couple to the suspension.
