  • Antique Lacquer and Gilt Pair of Fu Lions, China (16556ZOK)

    $395.00
    H: 5.75″  W: 3.25″  D: 2.75″ | FREE SHIPPING WITHIN CONTINENTAL U.S.!

    Each of this whimsical gold and red-burgundy lacquered pair of male fu lions sits erect on a high pedestal heads thrown back with flaring ears,  bulging eyes, decorative stylized manes and a small bushy tail. Their spirituality is displayed by the pair silently emitting the blessed mantra “aum”: the open mouthed lion forming an “au,” and the other completing it with a closed mouth to form “mmm.” The workmanship on these pieces is masterful, although rustic and provincial, and they are rare with their Buddhist symbolism and because most pairs of  fu lions pairs were lost during China’s modernization.
