$695.00 

This pudgy shi shi with his pom pom tail is nothing but delightful. He's decked out with temple tassels and a bell on his neck, scroll patterns on his legs and flowing "hair" embosses his sides. He has a serious countenance that's completely contradicted by his pudgy frivolity. His head is hinged at the throat and when it's open it reveals that it's been soldered inside. This appears to have been original construction--we're not sure but it doesn't appear to be flawed from the outside.
