- This cast iron rendering of the Chinese mythical lion Suanni (Suan Ni, 狻猊 or 狻麑) is larger than its liuli counterpart and has a rather grand presence, making it a striking center piece. Suanni is known as the 5th son of the Dragon, and as such has half-lion, half-dragon features. He has a contemplative temperament, and is often quietly in a state of reflection. He enjoys fire and smoke, and therefore often depicted on incense ware.
- As lions were not native to China, many historians believe that suanni is what Chinese artists imagined a lion to be like, before a real lion was brought to China and its true looks revealed. This incense holder can be used for both burning incense powder and incense sticks.
- Lion Incense Burner works with cones, sticks, coil incense. It can also be used as a classical decorative container for applicator bowls, coins and small items.
- A small auspicious Lion Incense Burner that fits in the palm of your hand. The guardian Shishi has a charming appearance with its humorous face and protruding belly. His comical gaze as he sits atop his silk pillow will instill more laughter than fear! We recommend easy-to-use cone incense or a traditional censer with ash and charcoal.
