About the Item

Solid carved granite Chinese foo dog sculpture. Late 19th-early 20th century antique stone carving. It once served as a hitching post for horses and was professionally converted to a freestanding sculpture. Exceptionally well done. It is slightly more gray in appearance than it looks in the photos.
