Incense burner (a vessel for burning incense) with the unusual shape of the elongated vessel with a rounded body, at the front a large opening for the lamp and small air holes. On the top, a wide-mouthed incense container with the horizontally ribbed body (shallow grooves) in the upper part, attached to the construction. A similarly shaped object was found on the Roman necropolis at Douch, dating from the 1st to the early 5th century.
