Japanese Meiji Bronze Kirin Or Kylin Atop Large Censor/koro Fine Detail

This nicely cast Meiji period bronze has the Kirin or Kylin (a magical positive beast) as the figural central element, and it appears on one side of the vessel while a turtle is on the other. The dimensions are approx 9 1/2" W x 9" H x 5 W, and it weighs approx 5 pounds. While in very nice detailed condition there is a casting error on one broad side, a small hole which you see in the last photo above. It has the heart shaped openings at the top suggesting it was intended as a censor or Koro.
