These lions, symbols of power, vigilance, and protection, form an architectural support of great technical mastery. Combination of a wooden bitong and a carved zoomorphic foot. China. Qing Dynasty, late 19th century. Diameter 18 cm x Height 27 cm. Base 38 cm. Lot in international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipment: no import duties apply within the EU.
