Incense burner support, male figure with protruding eyes, from the Palenque area
Incense burners were often mass produced. As is the case with this one, the faces, limbs, and attributes were produced in molds and assembled. The body of this vessel is hollow to allow the incense smoke to emerge from the figure's mouth.
