Chinese Reclining Fu Dog Guardian Sculpture

About the Item

Hand-carved from a single block of limestone, this stone sculpture depicts a reclining mythical fu dog lion. Also known as shizi, fu lions such as this were traditionally placed beside the entrance or threshold of a grand home or sacred space. Set by the front door or tucked within the garden, this fu dog guardian protects the home from malevolent spirits and misfortune.
