Hand Carved Teak Temple Guards, Foo Dogs

About the Item

Pair of intricately hand carved Teak temple guard dogs. Foo dogs are symbolic, protective statues, and they are designed in pairs — 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.
