This bronze incense burner features a muscular and lifelike beast raised on four sturdy legs, which roars with bared teeth and glaring eyes. A single bell rests against its broad chest. Removing the detachable head reveals its hollow belly which can be filled with powdered incense. When burning, smoke gracefully plumes from the beast's mouth, adding to the lively appearance of this clever and well-crafted work of art.
