Its heavy
Dont know history
Dear Terry,
Thanks for the better pictures. I now can see the material better. This is a polystone statue made in recent times in China. Its a foo dog figure ( a temple guardian ) who are placed in the front of the building to protect from evil spirits. Unfortunately yours is made of a plastic and that makes it low in value. I can see it is plastic buy the ''broken bubbles'' in the material. On different parts you can see bursted bubbles. These create small round holes. This is because the cooked plastic was boiling and bubbles were created in the proces. My estimation will be low but I think it is still a nice statue and it also will protect you :)
