This charming little guardian beast is a fully handmade ceramic incense burner, crafted one by one by the artist. The body is formed from clay and high-fired at about 1300°C, giving it a dense, durable feel and a natural, slightly rough texture that looks great on a tea table or shelf.

The design is full of personality:

• a round, chubby body that sits firmly in your hand

• a wide open mouth with tiny fangs, ready to breathe out incense smoke

• a cheeky tongue sticking out for a playful expression

• big, bulging eyes and raised eyebrows that make it look surprised and a little silly

• a mane of curled, flowing hair all around the face and back, sculpted strand by strand

• tiny hands and feet hugging the body, which add to its cute monster look

Place an incense cone on the top of its head and watch the smoke slowly pour out through the mouth and front opening, as if the little beast is exhaling a soft mist. It works beautifully for tea time, a meditation corner, or simply as an eye-catching art piece on your desk.

In traditional culture, guardian beasts are associated with protection and good wishes for safety and peace, so this figurine can be enjoyed not only as a fun decoration, but also as a small symbolic guardian for your space.

Because every piece is completely handmade and high-fired, each beast has its own unique expression, glaze tone and tiny details. No two are exactly the same, making it a special gift for anyone who loves handcrafted ceramics, fantasy creatures, or distinctive home décor.
