ANTIQUE CHINESE AMETHYST CARVING / Foo Lion On Pedestal / Rare Ex-Museum Piece

This is a magnificent antique Chinese amethyst carving of a Foo Lion standing on a quartz pedestal. It was part of the Flint Institute of Art’s collection until it was sold to benefit the museum’s Acquisitions Fund - you can see the museum inventory bar code is still on the bottom. The carving measures 5 inches tall by 3.25 inches wide and is in excellent condition for its age with just some natural inclusions and veining.
