Chinese Guardian Shishi Lion Foo Dog One (1) Ceramic Figurine Feng Shui Vintage

This vintage figurine appears to be in very good condition. There is a vertical line right behind the head, and I can't determine if it's a paint defect or a crack. You can see it in picture 1. There is pitting here and there, one on the front foot, head, scattered here and there. This appears to be from manufacturing and I would consider normal . Features: • Shishi Lion/ Foo Dog done in pretty green and blue color and glazed. • Usually sold in pairs, one male and one female. The closed mouth makes this figurine a female • They are Chinese Feng Shui Protection Symbols, and usually placed outside the front door. • They are viewed as realm defenders, guarding against negative energies and malevolent spirits from entering the house. • They symbolize prosperity, success, and guardianship. • Not sure what the holes in the face are for, but I personally would use a cone incense underneath, so the smoke comes out of the holes. • 3" high x 4" long • Made in China Condition: Pre-Owned Good Any questions?
