A pair of polychrome porcelain lion shaped incense holders China, Qing dynasty, 18th century
Pair of altar accessories shaped as a couple of Shi, the classic guardian lion of the Buddhist tradition. Both made of heavy-bodied porcelain, showing a lively polychrome glaze with large areas in pink enamel, this being a pigment that was introduced to China by the Jesuits in the middle of the 18th century. The two lions, crouched on their legs, lean with their backs on two slightly splayed cannulas designed to contain the incense stick.
