Status: Sold

Add a touch of tradition and protection to your home with this striking ceramic Foo Dog statue. Measuring approximately 16" in height, this vibrantly glazed guardian lion features beautiful turquoise, ivory, and gold accents with intricate swirling details. Traditionally known to ward off negative energy, this piece makes a bold statement in any space—whether displayed alone or as part of a pair. The figure shows some minor cracks (see photos), but retains its charm and presence. The base still has part of the original felt covering and an impressed maker's mark partially visible. A must-have for collectors of Asian décor, antique ceramics, or symbolic sculptures. Refer to photos for details and condition.
