Chinese Foo Dog Incense Burner (獅子香炉)
This is a bronze foo dog incense burner, an exceptional piece that combines decorative art with ritual function.
A foo dog (also known as shishi 獅子 or "Chinese lion") is a mythological protective being from Chinese culture.
This specimen is crafted as an incense burner — the back/neck opens as a lid to place incense
The smoke escapes through the open mouth of the animal
The flames on the body refer to divine power and protection
The raised head with open mouth wards off evil spirits and welcomes luck
Foo dogs are traditionally placed at the entrances of temples, palaces and homes as guardians
This item can be shipped together with other items of mine in this auction so you only pay shipping costs once.
