An incredible Ming Dynasty large Chinese cast bronze temple in-censor. Sitting atop with turned head an open mouth, sits a fu-dog (Chinese Imperial guardian lions). Well modeled details with high level of craftsmanship. Overall wonderful condition.
Unusual large size indicates this in-censor would have been for a temple. The fu-dogs were thought to protect the building from harmful spiritual influences and harmful people that might be a threat.
Stunning original patina with shades of greens, bronze and black pigment.
Ming Dynasty: Late 17th - Early 18th Century
Dimensions: 18 1/2" wide X 15: deep
