A bold and expressive bamboo carving depicting a Chinese lion dog and pup. The elaborately carved piece shows the pup perched on the shoulder of its parent who rests its paw on a ball, the reverse rendered to show a steep rock crag. The ingenious design allows the root node of the bamboo plant to form the flaming hair of the Chinese lion pup. Excellent Condition. No Repairs, No Restoration. Southeast Asian, 19th century. Height: 15.8"
