Well designed and full of detail.  Comprised of a composite material, most likely alabastrite.  Male figure’s paw is on the globe; female’s paw on the foo pup.

Substantial in weight.  Much heavier that the poorly-made and mass produced composite foo dogs you find in retail shops.

Acquired from an Asian art collector in Tucson.  Perfect condition.
