Dear Daniel,
I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal.
Considering the photos, this item is:
A pair of Chinese guardian lions from 20th century, commonly called stone lions in China and sometimes called a foo dog in the West, are symbolic sculptures of the Asiatic lion. They are always depicted in pairs. Foo dogs are symbolic, protective statues, and they are designed in pairs — one is female, the other is male. The female represents yin, and symbolically protects the people dwelling inside the home, while the male statue, representing yang, protects the structure itself.
Good condition.
