🌟 Product Details

🆔 Inventory CodeINV3969 Ⓜ️ MaterialJade 🏳️ OriginChina 🏛️ PeriodLate 20th Century – Modern Era 🅂 SubjectFoo Lion (Guardian Lion) – seated protective figure 🏷️ MarkedUnmarked 📜 Description Attractive Chinese Jade carving depicting a stylized Foo Lion (guardian lion) in a seated posture. The figure is carved from pale green jade with a semi-translucent quality, giving it a soft luminous appearance under light.

The lion features expressive facial detailing, a curled mane, and a compact, powerful body—hallmarks of traditional Canton style carving. The smooth polished surface enhances the natural stone texture and subtle tonal variations.

Collector’s Notes: Foo Lions, also known as guardian lions, are symbolic protectors in Chinese culture, often placed at entrances to ward off negative energy. Carvings in jade are especially valued due to the material’s association with purity, status, and longevity. Late 20th Century examples like this remain popular among collectors for their decorative appeal and connection to traditional motifs. 🔍 Condition

GOOD ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) – Minor surface wear and natural inclusions within the stone. No major cracks or repairs visible. Please review the photos carefully for more details.
