加法尔·伊本·穆罕默德·伊本·阿里（活跃于十二世纪晚期）埃米尔·赛义夫·顿雅·瓦尔丁·穆罕默德·马沃尔迪的香炉

Ja`far ibn Muhammad ibn `Ali

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 453

兽形香炉在塞尔柱王朝（约1040 –1157年）十分流行。这只狮形香炉的出色之处在于其庞大的体量、镌刻装饰之精细，以及刻在炉身上的阿拉伯文书法所提供的巨大信息量。这些信息包括资助人和艺术家的名字以及作品的制作日期。狮子的头部可以打开，从这里可以把煤和香放入香炉中；狮身和脖颈处有镂空图案，供芳香的烟雾扩散出来。这只香炉的巨大体型说明它是为宫殿而造的。
