AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful set of foo dogs.
Foo dogs (also known as Fu dogs, Fu lions, or Chinese guardian lions) are traditional Chinese protective statues that are often placed in pairs in front of temples, palaces, important buildings, and homes.
Symbolism and function:
They serve as spiritual guardians that ward off evil and bring good luck
Always in pairs: the male specimen (right) has his paw on an embroidered ball (symbol of power), the female (left) has a cub under her paw (symbol of nurturing)
Despite the name "dog" they are actually stylized lions
The statue is in good used condition with signs of aging. (See photos)
Very finely detailed.
Carefully packaged and insured shipment.
This object can be shipped together with other items of mine in this auction so that you only pay shipping costs once.
