A fierce, regal Chinese Foo Dog poses proudly in this Foo Dog Garden Statue by La Campania. This depiction of these ancient guardians is highly detailed, 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.

Your new lion dog statue comes in Nero Nuovo finish.
