Copper coins plaited lions

This pair of lions is plaited with copper coins and is decorated with metallic beads. The male is wearing a red ball of fluff. These lions are skillfully constructed in a unique way. They once were exhibited at a 1924 charity exhibition held in Xi’an, making them remarkable and of special contribution among toys from the Qing court.
