Product description
A characterful matching pair of Chinese bronze Foo Dogs, also known as guardian lions. Each figure is powerfully modelled with an open mouth, clearly defined paws and a robust body. Their compact proportions and substantial combined weight give the sculptures a strong, solid presence. The bronze surfaces display a naturally time-worn appearance that enhances the sculptural details and individual character of the figures. Designed to be displayed together, the pair creates a balanced and visually cohesive arrangement. In Chinese tradition, guardian lions symbolise protection, strength and prosperity. They were traditionally positioned as a pair to safeguard entrances and interiors. An attractive decorative set for a sideboard, cabinet or display case and an appealing addition to a collection of Chinese art and bronze sculpture.
