A Pair of Guardian Foo Lions with Sancai Glaze

Stoneware with sancai glaze of green, yellow and aubergine, the foo lions stand on reticulated raised pedestals, the male lion holding a ball and the female lion a baby under their front paws, curled tail, open mouths with straight teeth, oversized ears, bulging eyes, and wide nose, bells around their neck.

12 1/2 in.

From the Collection of the late David Powell, Timmonsville, South Carolina

Some minor nicks to edges; both tails with chips; some dirt to surface.
