| A beautiful set to add to a garden path or entryway, this pair were originally used as a decorative/protective embellishment to the entryway of an important residence or official building. Carved in sandstone, the wear of a couple of hundred years or so is apparent, adding to the overall effect of the set. They each feature a figurative drum with lion dogs at play on the top, chi-lin on one face with six spheres orbiting a central one on the other face (pearls? still looking into it). Clouds, the lucky bat, and scrolls are featured with other symbols around the rest of each. To the rear of the decorative aspect is a flat area, one of which still has the iron connector inset into it. Each one is approximately 71cm. high by 78 cm. long by 21 cm. wide (28" x30.5" x53") | |||||||||||||
