Vintage Chinese Guardian Lion Foo Dog Cast Brass Bronze Statue Censer Incense Burner11-1/2" high x 11" long x 5-1/2" wide overallThis statue comes from a Vermont estate where it was on display for quite some time. It was covered in dust, some of which has been brushed off (more cleaning may be needed as you see fit). I see no damage to it. It stands with the left rear paw slightl...y off the table.I believe this item is made of solid cast bronze (red brass). It is highly decorated as you can see in the pictures.It is certainly a statue or figurine, but given that the mouth opens down into the belly of the lion, it may also have originally been intended for use as a kind of censer or incense burner. You will have to be the judge of that. I see no evidence that it was ever used in this way.This statue is heavy, weighing in at 11.25 pounds.Unpacked weight & size: 11.25, 11.5x11x5.5Packed weight & size: 15, 13x13x7Package Notes & Ref: 9L17:Note: Unless specifically indicated otherwise, the shipping charge quoted is to addresses in the contiguous 48 United States.
