Guanyin On The Foo Dog, Porcelain, Japan, 19th Century
A multicolored depiction of the powerful Foo dog and Guanin seated on its back. The dog bares its teeth; its fierce appearance is believed to ward off evil forces and unwanted spirits.

Japan, 19th century.
Hand-painted porcelain.
Length: 30 cm, height: 27 cm, depth: 15 cm.
