This old bronze ear vase comes from a Tibetan temple collection and is crowned by a powerful pixiu figure—a mythical beast associated with attracting and safeguarding wealth. Its surface is richly worked with gilded silver dragon and phoenix patterns: the dragon representing power and protection, the phoenix symbolizing renewal and harmonious blessing.

The combination of bronze, gilding, and silver accents gives the piece a layered, time-softened glow. Handles in the traditional “ear” form add height and presence, while the pixiu perched above anchors the vase as a guardian of fortune. Even without flowers, it reads as a complete sculptural object, full of symbolic meaning.

In the modern home, this piece works beautifully as a focal point on an altar table, console, or sideboard. Place it where you want to invite prosperity and protection—near an entry, in a study, or within a Temple & Ritual vignette alongside offering bowls, thangkas, and guardian figures. Its rich patina and intricate motifs reward close viewing, yet it sits comfortably within calm, contemporary interiors.
