This striking pair of incense burners, likely of Tibeto-Chinese origin, features a guardian lion (Shishi) and a smaller matching creature, both elaborately decorated with intricate metal filigree and inset with vibrant turquoise and coral-colored cabochons. The larger figure is designed as a functional censer, with a removable head that reveals a hollow interior for burning incense, allowing smoke to dramatically escape through the open mouth. These pieces showcase traditional Himalayan aesthetic influences, combining stylized mythical features with ornate, textured metalwork and a rich, multi-colored inlay.

Condition Report:
The items are in good vintage condition with a natural aged patina to the metal surfaces. All stone-effect inlays appear largely intact, though there is minor surface wear and some light oxidation consistent with age. The removable head of the larger censer fits securely. Dimensions: 14.5cm (h) x 14cm (l) and 4cm (h) x 5cm (l)
