About the Item

A pair of magnificent stone foo dogs, meticulously hand-carved from solid stone. Their muscular forms, wide eyes, and open mouths while adorable convey a sense of strength and vigilance. The intricate carvings, including the lotus flower motifs on the saddles, add a touch of elegance and symbolism to their design. As legendary guardians, foo dogs are believed to protect homes and their inhabitants from evil spirits. These particular foo dogs have been ingeniously transformed into functional candle holders, making them perfect for your home and garden. Their substantial weight and durable stone construction add boldness to your design while suit for both indoor and outdoor use, as doorstops or as captivating garden and patio statues.
