Ref.:
- Sotheby's, New York, Mar. 20, 2013, lot 311, for a similar example described as a censer but lacking the lids and with important restoration. (sold USD 75.000) (direct link available on rm-auctions.com) This early Ming bronze sculptural Buddhist lion vase was probably made for the ‘arrow game’ or touhu. It may have had a secondary fucntion as an incense burner.The game was played at banquets, with he players throwing arrows into the three vessels on its back, the result being that they would concentrate so hard on winning that they would drink less. The mythical beast is depicted with a lively, striding stance, the forked and bushy tail held high.
