EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely crafted incense burner in the form of a fearsome lion dates back to the 19th century. The unknown creator masterfully carved this wooden piece with intricate details, enhancing the lion's menacing presence through its open mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and alert, frightened expression. The lacquer finish adds an additional layer of richness to the piece, making it a desirable collectible for art enthusiasts and those with an appreciation for heritage art. The lion, a powerful and symbolic animal in many cultures, is often used to represent courage, strength, and protection. In this context, the incense burner serves not only as an functional object for the burning of incense but also as a decorative piece that instills a sense of awe and alarm. The close-up perspective of this studio shot highlights the intricacies of the carving, revealing the artist's skillful use of tools and equipment. This incense burner, now a part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the 19th century. Its sculptural form and rich color make it a striking addition to any home, evoking a sense of history and tradition with every use.
