This is a good example of a Chinese fluorite carving of an Archaic style bell with a Foo Dog on top
Please note: the first image maybe an enhanced presentation image. For an accurate representation of condition, including any wear or age-related marks, please refer to the additional photographs provided. This piece is made from fluorite because it is believed that it can get rid of any electromagnetic fog that can attract or retain negative energies and make you feel psychically, emotionally, or mentally lethargic
This piece measures 7cm high and is in really good order there is a very small Knick from one of the bell arms and that feels like the only rough edge
Foo dogs are actually lions. They originated in China, shi, meaning lion or shishi or stone lion. Yet they resemble the Chow Chow and Shih Tzu which led them to be called foo dogs (or fu dogs) in English.
