Incredibly beautiful pair of 1970s vintage bronze foo dogs by Neiman Marcus Japan. Guardian lions, also known as komainu, shishi, or foo dogs, are intimidating, mythical, lion-like creatures seen across a breath of art forms, ranging from architecture to tattoos. As they symbolize prosperity, success, and guardianship, they’re full of meaning and beauty. This vintage pair is beautifully rendered in bronze. Patina and bronze speckles add style and heritage to these substantial pieces which derive from Japan for Neiman Marcus. Each 9” H, 3.25”W, 2.25 Depth.
