These depictions of these ancient guardians features the archetypal details of a Chinese guardian lion, featuring pointed teeth and claws, curled manes, and tasseled harnesses. The tradition of Chinese dog statues dates back to the 3rd century AD and can be found all across East Asia. These fantastical beasts were created to serve as physical and spiritual guardians of temples, tombs, and other significant structures. Traditionally, foo dogs are placed at the entrances to buildings in pairs- one male and one female- that represent the philosophy of yin and yang. Each of the lion dogs holds something under one paw. Traditionally, the female holds a cub, which represents nature and the circle of life, while the male holds a sphere, a representation of the Earth. Add this stunning pair of foo dogs to your property so their protective presence may keep your home safe from negative energies. This statue set is designed for outdoor use but small enough for indoor use as well. Your new foo dog guardians come in Alpine Stone finish. Product Details Product is handmade by skilled artisans.
