About the Item

This is a very good antique Chinese foo or lion dog sculpture, sometimes called a temple lions, made of bronze, with excellent detail, dating to the 19th century, Qing period or possibly earlier back to the 18th century. The piece is well cast with excellent detail and could have been part of an incense burner originally. The unpacked weight is about 400 grams There is a possibility that this piece was from Tibet, but probably Chinese. This antique Chinese food dog has an excellent patina with good and varied depth of colour to the metal. Notes: Foo dogs are symbolic, protective statues, and they are designed in pairs — one is female, the other is male. The female represents yin, and symbolically protects the people dwelling inside the home, while the male statue, representing yang, protects the structure itself.
