    Here's another little treasure I picked up from Salvation for a very small amount even though it was priced way too high. My preferred customer discount as usual made it very affordable. I like foo dogs and this one is 6" tall and made of a heavy dense variegated spinach green stone. The size fools you into thinking it's much lighter than it is. It's almost like lead in that respect. Looks to be hand carved but there is no label or maker's mark. It's in excellent shape considering the sharp corners on the base are not chipped. -Mike-
