Qty 2 Guardian Lion Fu Dog Statues 25"x17"x44"H (Purchased in China 25 Yrs Ago).
The seller passed on this info: For centuries, the foo dog has been a feng shui symbol of protection. These guardians are frequently seen in pairs outside front doors, standing tall and proudly as they ward off negative energy. While they are commonly referred to as foo dogs (fu dogs) in Western culture, the Chinese have known them as Imperial Guardian Lions since ancient times. Their ferocity and majesty make them a fitting symbol of power and strength, and they continue to inspire and captivate people all over the world. Look no further than the foo dog to boost the guardian energy of your home or business entrance. Simply placing a pair outside your front door can make all the difference.
Foo dogs are actually lions. They originated in China as shi, which means lion or shishi, or stone lion. Despite their resemblance to the Chow Chow and Shih Tzu, they are known as foo dogs (or fu dogs) in English. These imposing creatures are frequently depicted in pairs, one male and one female, standing guard outside temples and homes.
The male represents active, protective, and dominant yang energy.
The female represents the passive, nurturing, and receptive yin energy.
To determine their gender, one can examine what’s beneath their paws. The male foo dog holds a ball, which represents the entire world, while the female holds a puppy, symbolizing nature or a nurturing spirit.
My parents got these fu dogs while in China about 25-30+ years ago along with Mr. Luke of Hawaii National Bank. Mr. Luke's foo dogs are still outside of the Hawaii National main branch on King St.
