Resin Dragon Incense Holder, Green-Blue Finish, 11 Inches Long

This dragon incense holder is cast resin and measures 11 inches long. The dragon lies flat with scales along its back, a ribbed belly and a head with a mane and claws. The finish is a green-blue patina over a dark body, and the first photo shows it in a grayer light. The listing says it is from Indonesia.

Set the holder on a flat, heat-safe surface where falling ash will not mark the table. Incense is not included. Dragons and nagas appear in Thai and Lao art as water spirits, which is why they often guard temple stairs. Wipe it with a dry cloth once it is cool and do not soak it.

Naree chose it for Uniquely Thai Lao TV.
