The present paper examines two bronze censers with Christological relief compositions from the Georgian National Museum. The analyses of their stylistic and iconographic features shed more light on the dissemination of the bronze censers produced in the East Christian artistic centers. The paper attempts to determine the time and place of creation of these liturgical objects. I will also offer some observations concerning the relationship between metal incense burners of Syro-Palestinian origin and those made in different places throughout Christendom.
