拍品描述：

PROVENANCE
Acquired by Bayer from Bernheimer by Carl Duisberg prior to 1930 - Partial age damage and surface change due to many years of presentation in the park
The terms Karashishi (literally: Chinese lion) and Komainu (Korean dog) are nowadays used synonymously. Traditionally，a pair of Shishi figures is placed at the entrance of a Buddhist temple or a Shinto shrine as guardians，similar to the Ni. protectors. Already in the Heian period (794-1185)，a distinction was made between the two figures: the left figure was considered a Karashishi with an open mouth (agyō)，while the right one was referred to as a Komainu with a closed mouth. The Komainu also appears very lion-like，and the differences between the two figures are minimal，probably because they originated from lion statues placed in front of Buddhist temples in India. This tradition eventually made its way to Japan.
