Pair of Petite Chinese Fu Dog Guardians

About the Item

With curly manes 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. Seated in mirrored postures, each fu dog carries its characteristic accessory on its back - the female shizi with a baby fu dog, representing the cycle of life, and the male shizi with an embroidered ball, representing dominion over the universe. Offering protection from misfortune, these charming fu dogs stand guard throughout the home as bookends, garden ornaments, or tabletop sculptures.
