    I think Chinese. Makes me think of Chinese New Year.
    Does it feel like ceramic? Or is it light? Could it be paper mache?

    Also called 'nodders'. It looks like there is some market for them.

    Could someone give me some information. This is cute but if this represents the foo dog why does the little guy have the globe? Seems like he is taking away the luck and protection.
