About the Item

Pair of Chinese foo dogs, which I believe are book ends. I am not sure of the time period but they definitely have some age to them.. I am almost completely convinced that these are a pair even though their color is different. All the details around the sculpture are the same, but the darker one is hard to see. I don’t know if the lighter one was overly cleaned, but that could be why. They measure 6 1/2 inches high by two and three-quarter inches wide by one and three-quarter inches deep.
