About the Item

An antique Chinese pair of carved guardian lions, or Foo Dogs, fashioned from celadon-green serpentine jade. Each lion is modeled in a traditional seated pose with stylized features and carefully carved details. The stone displays an attractive pale celadon-green coloration with subtle natural tonal variation and translucency. The compact scale and matched composition make the pair particularly suitable for display as decorative objects or within a collection of Chinese hardstone carvings. Chinese, Republic ROC, early 20th century.
