    Hi,
    I found this lovely puppet a while ago, (two of them, thats why I thought it could be Foo dogs because they seem to appear in pairs. But I can not find any similar puppets. Its got very fine details on them, the face is like a ceramic,also the ears, same material. The feet have got a sort of brushes. . Anyone an idea how old the can be? and what country? Could it be Japanese?

    Thank you

      Typical Chinese New Year item, a model of the Lion used in Lion Dance :-)

      Thank you for comment. Do you have any idea when they started making such a puppets?
      These look pretty old, and the heads are very fragile, sort of ceamics/paper combination.
