I'm offering for bids the nicest pair of KUTANI Shi-Shi/Shi-Sha Temple Guard Lion Dogs! As with my other current listings, I never intended on parting with this beautiful pair. But since my Japanese Wife's passing in January, I am relocating back to Japan and am/will be selling most of the treasures that we've collected over the past 20 years or so.

The bottom of the male figure is clearly signed on the ball with embossed stamp and hand signed in black ink by the artist on the left, rear foot. The female figure is signed with embossed stamp on the bottom of the ball. The male measures slightly over 12" tall and approximately 11" long. The female measures just under 12" tall and approximately 9 1/2" long. Each piece weighs approximately 9 lbs each! Absolutely no damages whatsoever to distract from their beauty or value! I paid a pretty penny for this set and am starting the bidding far lower than their value in Japan.
