Perfume burner Perfume Burner, The perfume burner consists of three separate, superimposed parts. The three-sided, upwardly rejuvenating, macaw-shaped base has a squat satyr on each truncated corner whose hands are tied behind the back and the hooves rest on a satyr mask with a volute below and above, thus one of the three legs of the macaw. The masks also have a shell on the forehead and horns, between which garlands of leaves and fruits hang down to the ground, a shell above every garland and against the profiled skirting board of the macaw. On the three concave side surfaces, panels in profiled frames with the following representations after plaques from Moderno: Hercules, robbing the cattle of Geryones, Hercules struggling with Geryones, Cacus, staring the cattle of Hercules. On the overhanging, profiled cover plate is the second part: a heavy, profiled column, enclosed by three S-shaped slotted bands between three sphinxes placed at the back, each with a shell between the wing tips. The third part rests on this, a round barrel, slightly widened upwards and showing below and above godrons and profile moldings, which release a sanded intermediate piece, which is broken through four elongated, vertically placed openings in a slot band frame. Garlands are suspended between these openings, above which a shell is arranged. The whole is crowned by a standing figure of Mars in a challenging position, dressed as a helmeted, Roman soldier. In the left hand he holds a shield, repelling, in the right (a part of) a sword, the scabbard hanging against the hip. Openings in the heads of satyrs and sphinxes for escaping the smoke, sphinx (lion / woman), 'Sfinge' (Ripa), satyr (s) (in general), mask, mascaron, ornament, (story of) Mars (Ares), Desiderio da Firenze (attributed to), Padua, c. 1540, bronze (metal), h 40.6 cm × w 19.0 cm × d 16.5 cm w 26.0 cm × d 23.0 cm
