Antique Foo Dog Brooch, Chinese Guardian Lion, Mother order of Pearl MOP Shell

This antique foo dog is carved in Mother of Pearl and highlighted in red and gold. The roll over safety clasp glued to the back is a replacement and you can see where the older original C clasp was imbedded in the mother of pearl. The Chinese order brooch is large, 2 3/8 inches high and 1 3/8 inches across. There is some wear to the paint but overall the fierce looking protector is in excellent antique condition.
