About the Item

With curly manes, fluffy tails, and playful expressions, these petite stone fu dogs are adorable companions and benevolent guardians of the home. Also known as shizi, the pair represents yin and yang, the dual forces of the universe. Standing in mirrored postures, each fu dog rests on a square base etched with floral patterns. Offering protection from malevolent spirits and misfortune, these charming fu dogs stand guard throughout the home as bookends, garden ornaments, or tabletop sculptures.
