This three-footed light-green glazed vessel was used to burn incense; the aromatic smoke would have billowed from the dog’s open mouth. The dragon-like canine could represent Panhu, a totemic figure in the creation myths of many of the pre-Buddhist/Hindu cultures of Vietnam, as well as among Yao ethnic groups of southern China.
