Mid-20th Century Carved Soapstone Shi Shi Lions on Jade Bases
Pair of Shi Shi Lions, intricately carved from chocolate-colored soapstone. Resting on elegant jade bases, which may not be original but add a harmonious contrast, these mid-20th century sculptures exemplify traditional Chinese artistry. These guardian figures are revered for their protective qualities and are often placed in homes or offices to ward off negative energies.
Condition: Good, with signs of wear consistent with age. Minor chipping is noted on the soapstone and one of the jade bases.
Dimensions:
- Overall (including base): 4" high each
- Without base: 3.25" L x 2" W x 1.2" H
- Weight (each, without base): 7.8 oz
Embodying both a mystical presence and artistic craftsmanship, these Shi Shi Lions are perfect for those looking to add a touch of historical elegance and cultural significance to their collection.
