About the Item
With a curly mane and playful expression, this petite stone fu dog is an adorable companion and a benevolent guardian of the home. Also known as a lion or shizi, the mythical dog is thought to offer protection from malevolent spirits and misfortune.
Perched upon a square plinth, the fu dog is carrying a female rider playing the pipa, a Chinese stringed instrument similar to a lute. The rider is possibly the mythical beauty Wang Zhaojun, known for playing sorrowful melodies on her pipa while riding on horseback. A miniature example of a traditional form, this charming fu dog stands guard as a bookend or tabletop sculpture.
