My foo dog lions are both male because they are holding balls. Females have a cub under one foot. I will display one in my curio cabinet and one I will gift to my mom to be sewn as an ornament on a hat. They could be reworked into necklaces. They are genuine antiques. I'm not sure if they were originally buttons or ornaments for hats or belts or textiles, but they could be strung on a cord.
I absolutely love this review because I'm learning fu dogs are gendered. I'll be more careful to send a non-matching pair in the future :).
Shashi (dad) was a prolific collector of all things jewelry, but Chinese artifacts held a special place in his heart. I'm not entirely sure what the ones in our collection were originally intended for, I know that they were collected in Beijing and, though quite uniform, are available in a ton of different patterns. I think these pieces were originally stamped or hammered silver sheet.
