Internal Channel Mapping
The scans showed internal air channels and cavities used to regulate airflow during incense burning. These features were not visible externally.
Manufacturing Structure
Radiography revealed seams, joints, and clay layering patterns. These details helped identify workshop traditions and production techniques.
Ritual Interpretation
The internal structure supported interpretations of how incense was burned in ritual contexts. The airflow channels indicated controlled combustion.
Preservation Impact
Radiography allowed researchers to study the burners without removing residue or altering the surface.
