This pair of mould-made porcelain lion-dogs or ‘dogs of fo’ are shown standing on leaves with their mouths open and tails erect. The lioness is painted green with an aubergine mane and a yellow cub climbing her right leg. The lion is yellow with a green mane and moveable green brocade ball beneath his left paw; his eyes wobble on stalks. At the back are tubes for incense sticks. These were made as curiosities for a scholar’s desk to perfume the room but were very popular in Europe in the 18th century.
