Pair of Fo Dogs - Chinese School. 20th Century. Turquoise glazed ceramic. Dimensions: 40 x 22 x 35 cm. A pair of zoomorphic sculptures representing Chinese guardian lions or Fo dogs, symbols of protection and power. Each richly modeled figure displays a vigilant posture, a decorative sphere, and a profusion of detail in the mane and claws. The turquoise crackle glaze, characteristic of 20th-century Oriental ceramics, lends a visual effect of depth and luminosity. These pieces, commonly found in temples and palaces, embody the balance between spiritual strength and ornamental refinement within Chinese decorative art.
