Carved Marble Fu Dog Panels
About the Item
This set of exquisitely-carved marble garden plaques features two fu dogs playing with ribbons. The female fu dog (or fu lion) guards her pup while the male toys with a ball, which represents the world. The plaques have a joyful energy that lightens the mood of any space. Fu dogs were believed to guard against evil spirits and were often placed near the entrances to mansions and gardens. Fu dogs could be dog-like (similar to a Shar-Pei) or lion-like with prominent claws, mane and fluffy tail.
These panels were recently carved from very white, pure Hebei marble. Traditionally, carvings like this would have been embedded in the walls flanking the entrance to a building. They can now be mounted on stands or displayed outdoors on a plinth.

A Multi-Tiered Carving of a Lotus Flower 46"
Located in Chicago, IL
The lotus flower has been a symbol of spiritual purity and enlightenment ever since the time of the Buddha. These wooden lotus flowers are meticulous reproductions of ceiling decorations found in Thai temples. In some temples, lotuses are painted directly on the ceiling. In other temples, they're elaborately carved, covered in gold and placed in the center of ceiling panels. Either way, their purpose is the same -to draw the eye of the worshiper toward heaven. . According to a Zen verse, “may we exist in muddy water with purity, like a lotus." The lotus grows out of the mud, rising upward to bloom in the sunlight, clean and perfect. These lotuses are hand-carved from wood and finished by artisans in Chiang Mai, Thailand, according to ancient designs. Shown here: a large multi-tiered lotus with an antique wood finish.
