It is believed that these implements were used in a Buddhist temple built in a palace cm, diameter 9.9 cm) has a cylindrical body with a ridged band around it. The bowl-shaped incense burner (photo center, height 7.5 cm, diameter 10.1 cm) has ears attached to the left and right sides of the body, one of which is missing. The candlestick (photo right, height 28.7 cm, diameter 2.6 cm) is in good condition, including the shaft for holding a candle.
