A POLYCHROME ENAMELLED ‘LION AND CUB’ GROUP
QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY
The group is finely modelled as a recumbent lion turning its head and gazing adoringly at its cub reclining against its back, their fur picked out in black under green enamels, their curly mane and tail finely moulded and covered in blue enamels. The base is hollow revealing the fine, white body.
