Ming Dynasty Heaven Dogs protect the entrance to the Chinese Theatre. An unfortunate baseball bat attack several years ago broke each of the dog's muzzles. The original patch had lost it's color and begun to crack. I chipped away the old patch, and built up and sculpted anew using marble epoxy glue and marble dust mixed in four different colors to give the mottled, translucent look and feel of the original marble.
