Sau Shan Stone Pi Yao Antique Style Incense Burner
This absolutely stunning looking incense burner is creatively and intricately hand-carved out of Sau Shan stone with the symbol of Pi Yao perched on top of the lid. The powerful Pi Yao is a good fortune symbol that ushers in wealth, attracts good luck, wards off evil, brings good Feng Shui, provides protection to the home and individuals and brings windfall luck according to ardent believers in the East.
The incense burner is used to burn incense, a ritual that has been practiced throughout history as one of the most popular methods to symbolically bless, clean, enhance and purify the atmosphere in a living or work space.
The Pi Yao is a mystical creature that is a particularly powerful and auspicious creature of good fortune. It is said to have a voracious appetite that is infinite. The interesting part is that the Pi Yao does not have an anus, which means things only go in but never come out. It is therefore a favorite must-have for businessmen and merchants wishing loads of money rolling in without spilling out a dime. It is no wonder that Pi Yau can often be seen in banks, casinos, foreign exchange markets and finance companies in Oriental countries.
