Crafted from solid terracotta pottery, each statue possesses an exceptional, substantial weight of approximately 5 pounds (10 pounds total for the pair). They feature a brillant, glossy orange-red glaze with a subtle, beautiful ombre depth that perfectly captures the Chinoiserie design trends of the mid-20th century. The classic pairing features the tradition male lion resting his paw upon a structural sphere (representing the world) and the female lion stabilizing her cub. Both statues stand at 12.5" tall, 5.5" wide and 4 deep. I found this pair from a couple who are moving to Europe from the Treasure Valley. See less
