About the Item

These noble beasts are often placed near the entrance of a home for fierce protection. The pair of hand-carved rose quartz foo dogs (also known as guardian lions) exudes protective strength and artistry. They are fierce, but they are charming and beautifulStanding 3.5 inches tall and 1.75 inches wide, each figure is delicately sculpted with expressive detail—from their flowing manes to their alert posture. The natural blush hue and translucency of the rose quartz imbue these symbols of protection with a rare softness and elegance. Likely crafted in China in the mid to late 20th century, these foo dogs exemplify traditional craftsmanship with sharp, confident lines and a polished finish that reveals the internal life of the stone. Perfect for a bookshelf, altar, or feng shui arrangement, they balance beauty with spiritual symbolism.
