Beschrijving van de verkoper
incense burner in the form of a Foo Dog – China / Korea
Description
Decorative earthenware incense burner modelled as a mythical guardian lion (Foo Dog), inspired by Ming dynasty prototypes. The figure is powerfully sculpted with expressive facial features, open mouth, stylised mane and raised tail. The body forms the incense chamber, with the removable head serving as the lid. Ventilation holes are present in the mouth and body, allowing incense smoke to escape.
Such zoomorphic censers were produced in China and Korea around the late 19th to early 20th century, drawing on much older Ming models and temple traditions.
Condition
Good overall condition with age-related wear and surface patina. No major losses or restorations. Small spot on end of the tail and surface wear consistent with age and use.
Dimensions
12,5 x15x8 cm
Origin
China or Korea
Late 19th – early 20th century (circa 1900)
Remarks
A striking and decorative incense burner with strong sculptural presence, inspired by classical Ming dynasty guardian lion forms. Suitable for collectors of Asian art, temple objects and sculptural ceramics.
