Late 19th century, Japan, exceptionally executed, the group consisting of four shishi foo dogs, depicting two large foos at play frolicking and mock fighting, teaching a pair of small foo pups to its flanks. The composition is highly animated and showcases dramatic movement with tumbling interwound bodies, flying fur and resplendent shishi tails waving. The sculptural tail features an open cavity for use as an incense burner. True to Japanese esthetic, the work is subtly sculpted and expressively powerful. An exceptional work of art
