CAST IRON SUANNI LION

Suanni Lion Cast Iron Incense Burner

Suanni Lion Grand (Cast Iron) | 铸铁狻猊

This cast iron rendering of the Chinese mythical lion Suanni (Suan Ni, 狻猊 or ) is larger than its liuli counterpart and has a rather grand presence, making it a striking center piece. Suanni is known as the 5th son of the Dragon, and as such has half-lion, half-dragon features. He has a contemplative temperament, and is often quietly in a state of reflection. He enjoys fire and smoke, and therefore often depicted on incense ware.

Fun fact: as lions were not native to China, many historians believe that suanni is what Chinese artists imagined a lion to be like, before a real lion was brought to China and its true looks revealed.

This incense holder can be used for both burning incense powder and incense sticks. Comes with a bronze incense powder mold and a bronze stand for incense sticks.

This incense burner is made from distressed cast iron, a technique used to mimic used, vintage cast iron. Please note that spots of rust which are present either at the time or purchase, or develop shortly after use, are a normal occurrence and not considered defects.

To reduce the amount of rust on the incense burner, simply brush the rust with a plastic or natural-haired brush, or wipe with a dry cloth.
