TWO BRONZE BUDDHIST LION-FORM CENSERS, 18TH-19TH CENTURY
Each censer is formed as a stout Buddhist lion sitting on its haunches, the front legs braced, and cast with flames and cloud-like scrolls on the body. The separately cast head opens on a hinge at the front of the neck, and is cast with thin flames coiling out from the open mouth and a thickly curling mane and brows. The tail is also separately cast with two rows of curling tufts of hair.
