Vintage Pair Chinese Gilt Carved Wood Foo Dog / Guardian Lions Figurines
About the Item
Offered here are a pair vintage Chinese gilt and carved wood Foo Dog/Guardian Lions figurines
Wonderful craftsmanship with the hand carving that has gone into this pair, from the paws stepping on a upturned little monster on one, and something in the style of a ball on the other, to their necklaces holding a mask in the front on each, to their flowing curly mane.
Foo dogs/guardian lions symbolize prosperity, success, and guardianship. One is female, the other is male. The female represents yin, and symbolically protects the people dwelling inside the home, while the male statue, representing yang, protects the structure itself.
