This is a lion-shaped lid of an incense burner, having its intact shape except for the right mustache, which is estimated to be broken when made. The lion sits with its mouth open, putting an orb on its hind legs and pressing it with its forelimbs. The eyelids are protruding, the periphery of the eyes is deeply dug out, and the pupils are stroked with iron-brown underglaze. Some engraved lines decorate the high triangular nose, the ring-shaped ears, and the V-shaped hair. The mane from the back to the mouth is expressed with engraved swirling patterns. The chest is encircled with two engraved lines and attached with a round bell. The tail was attached to the body after being excavated separately. The horizontal round lid where the lion sits bends vertically at the edge to connect to the lip. Its border is encircled with one engraved line while its side is decorated with two engraved line patterns. The neck and hind legs of the lion are estimated to be cracked during firing. There is a hole in the bottom of the lion so that the incense can billow from the mouth. The glaze, covering the whole lid, is favorable in color. Despite the even glazing, the clay is exposed in the left cheek and the upper shoulder. The artifact has five traces of fireproof clay doughs around the bottom hole for firing.
