Sculpture, Coppia di Foo Dogs - 26 cm - Resin

Pair of vintage 1970s Foo Dogs. Although the style is typically oriental, these specific models were produced in Italy in the 60s and 70s using dense resin or alabaster dust to imitate ivory. The Male holds a decorative sphere under the paw that represents dominion over the world, the Female protects the cub under the paw, symbolizing maternal instinct and the protection of the household's family. They sit on decorated black bases, very detailed objects with notable engravings, elegant home furnishings and truly well-made pieces from that period, stamped Made in Italy on the base. They will be carefully packed and shipped with a tracking code.
