A name given to the resource
Dorian Gray's Library (Grosvenor Apartment, London)
Subject
The topic of the resource
This is where I will include information and an assortment of things found in Dorian's library. The space aligns with the aesthete affinity for oriental objects-- this collection contains a bit of Japanese and Chinese artifacts, along with some southern European pieces. This was also the original hiding place for Dorian's portrait.

Brazier
Description
An account of the resource
In the text, the brazier is pierced and made of copper. Dorian uses the brazier to perform a sort of mind clearing cleanse after burning Basil's clothing and bag, lighting "Algerian pastilles" in the brazier (Wilde 174). This sort of object is tied to Turkish culture, which extends the "far East" metaphor Dorian's library begins to convey in its secret Florentine cabinet and opium box.

The image of depicts the base of an iron purification brazier, perhaps like the one Dorian uses in the text. It is inlaid with gold and silver, dates from the 15th-17th century, and originates from Tibet (not Turkey). According to the Met website, it was used for sacrificial burnings and purification rights. Though Dorian's brazier could be more like a hookah, in the text, it seems to serve a similar function as a purification vessel might—the object acts as a means for Dorian to cleanse himself after disposing of Basil's body.
