Fantastic pair of vintage Asian guardian lion / Foo Dog sculptures with an incredible naturally aged verdigris finish. These have serious character—the metal has developed layers of turquoise-green, deep bronze and warm aged tones that highlight all of the sculptural details.Each guardian features a dramatic horned/spiked head, open mouth, ornate mane and collar, curled tail and decorative detailing across the body. The pair has a wonderfully primitive, old-world appearance and displays beautifully together.Details* Set of 2 guardian lion / Foo Dog figures
