About the Item

Antique Jade Carving of a Chinese Foo Dog – A Powerful Talisman of Protection & Prosperity This exquisite jade carving depicts a majestic Foo Lion (Shi) in a gracefully coiled position—more than just a work of art, it is an ancient symbol of strength, fortune, and spiritual guardianship. Though often called "Foo Dogs," these mythical creatures combine the ferocity of a lion with the wisdom of a dragon, traditionally standing guard at temples, palaces, and the homes of the elite to ward off evil and attract abundance. Why You Need This Jade Amulet in Your Life 🔹 Ultimate Protection – In Chinese culture, Foo Lions were placed at entrances to sacred and imperial spaces as powerful guardians. Now, this talisman can shield your home or workspace. 🔹 Genuine Jade – The Stone of Heaven – Crafted from natural, untreated Type A nephrite (no dyes or enhancements), its soft grey-green hue and rich, oily luster reflect its purity and noble energy. The jade has natural inclusions and a smooth, polished surface with age. 🔹 Antique Charm – Meticulously preserved with no damage, its aged patina whispers of history and tradition. 🔹 Perfect Size – Compact (5.7 × 3.5 cm) yet substantial (63.5 g), it makes a striking display piece or a personal pocket talisman. The Foo Lion’s Energy in Your Space: ✅ Attracts luck and harmony ✅ Deflects negativity and ill intentions ✅ Amplifies inner strength and noble character This rare antique jade carving is not just a decorative object—it’s a legacy of ancient wisdom, carrying centuries of symbolic power. Own a piece of history and invite its blessings into your life today!
