About the Item

Behold a vibrant pair of Chinese Famille Jaune Foo Dogs, a magnificent representation of Chinese artistry and symbolism. These exquisite figures, crafted with meticulous attention to detail, capture the dynamic essence of Foo Dogs, also known as guardian lions, which have graced the entrances of Chinese homes and temples for centuries as protectors against evil spirits. Each Foo Dog is depicted in a recumbent position, embodying a sense of alertness and readiness to spring into action. One of the striking features of these figures is their animated posture, with one hind leg raised in a scratching position, adding a touch of realism and vitality to the sculptures. Their facial expressions are vividly portrayed, with open mouths revealing finely crafted teeth, and bulging eyes that convey a fierce and protective demeanor. The Famille Jaune, or "yellow family", glaze adds a layer of visual richness to the pieces, with its bright yellow hue bringing a touch of regality and vibrancy to the figures. Whether displayed as a centerpiece or guarding a space, this pair of Foo Dogs stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistry of Chinese craftsmanship. Their dynamic posture and vibrant glaze promise to bring a sense of energy and historical depth to any setting, making them a treasured addition to any collection. circa 1990-2000, 20th Century Modern

Pixiu figures are often used as talismans or ornaments to attract wealth and good fortune. The square mound itself serves as a canvas for archaic decorations, featuring stylized dragons that are intricately carved into the detailed ground. These dragons not only add aesthetic appeal but also imbue the piece with historical and cultural significance, linking it to ancient Chinese traditions and folklore.
