AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Chinese Foo Dogs (actually Chinese temple lions or Shishi) are mythical guardians from ancient China.
They symbolize power, courage and prosperity. They are traditionally placed in pairs and protect buildings and homes against evil spirits, burglary and negative energy.
Characteristics of the pair. Foo Dogs are always depicted as a male and a female, which symbolizes the balance between yin and yang:
The male (Yang): Traditionally stands on the right side (as seen from the entrance he guards). He often has his right forepaw on an embroidered ball or globe, symbolizing his dominion over the world and territory.
The female (Yin): Stands on the left. She often has a cub under her left paw, which stands for the protection of the inhabitants and the upbringing.
According to Feng Shui rules, Foo Dogs are usually placed at the entrance of a house or by a window to provide protection. If you stand in front of your house and look inward, place the male on the left and the female on the right
