Agate Hand Held Foo Dog Charm Statue

About the Item

This exquisite hand-held charm, crafted from solid agate gemstone, captures the essence of ancient Chinese symbolism. A lively foo dog lion perches atop an oval rock, mouth open holding a silk ribbon, its head adorned with whiskers and eyes of vigilance. The rock itself is engraved with a linzhi symbol, representing longevity and a healthy life. The foo dog, a mythical creature often depicted as a lion, is believed to ward off evil spirits and protect its owner. In Chinese culture, the linzhi symbol, is associated with immortality and spiritual growth. Together these symbols represent protection, longevity, and a life filled with good fortune. A work of art with intricate carving and smooth, polished surface. Beautifully conceptualized and expertly rendered, highlighting the natural beauty of gemstone agate. The charm fits comfortably in your hand, giving a soothing sensation when held in the palm. Stand not included.
