A fine contemporary pair of stone Japanese guardian statues called the Koji Lions. This lovely pair of Japanese guardian lions, after early 20th-century originals unearthed by the creator Barbara Israel at her childhood home in Far Hills, New Jersey.

Male shishi are depicted with their mouths open (to scare off demons), while females are shown with closed mouths (to shelter and keep the good spirits). Dimensions: 31" high, 14" wide, 26" deep (front to back). Price: $1850 (each) Weight: 350 (each)
