Fierce and protective, this iron Foo Dog incense burner stands with mythic authority. Cast in dense metal and rich with swirling detail, it channels the ancient symbolism of the guardian lion — a creature said to ward off evil and invite strength.
At 4.4 pounds, this piece is as physically grounded as it is spiritually potent. Incense smoke rises from its open mouth like breath from a sleeping dragon, curling into the air with reverence. Whether placed at an altar, entryway, or collector’s shelf, it commands attention and respect.

I have only recently began selling again after many years on a separate project. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. I would be more than happy to assist you in any way I can. Regards, Rick
