Pair of Foo Dog Statuettes on Pedestals

This appears to be a pair of ornate foo dog statuettes, likely made of ceramic, porcelain, or possibly a resin composite, given their relatively high level of molded detail and painted finish. Each figure is depicted in a seated position on a rectangular base, which is then mounted on a darker, possibly wooden or faux-wood, stand. The figures themselves are a light, creamy beige color, with intricate sculpting representing fierce, mythical creatures. They feature prominent, bulging eyes, pointed ears, and stylized mane or hair details that rise above their heads. One figure has a circular motif on its forehead, while the other's forehead is obscured, but likely similar. They both have open mouths with visible teeth. The bodies are robust with scaly or armored textures, and their tails are curled upwards. One figure appears to have a small ball or globe under its paw (a common motif for male foo dogs, representing the world), while the other holds a cub (common for female foo dogs, representing offspring). The rectangular bases beneath the figures are decorated with a relief pattern, possibly a key fret or geometric design, and are painted with subtle gold accents. Below these bases is a larger, multi-tiered pedestal or stand, heavily adorned with a colorful, ornate pattern featuring blues, reds, and gold, suggesting a traditional Asian artistic style. The craftsmanship points to mass production, possibly vintage or contemporary, rather than antique, due to the uniform appearance and the type of finish. The visible condition seems good overall, with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant wear. The intricate raised patterns and the varied color palette on the lower pedestal indicate a decorative piece designed for display, possibly an indoor or weather-protected outdoor setting. The specific style is indicative of traditional Chinese or East Asian decorative motifs, reflecting cultural significance for protection and prosperity.
