Foo translates from one of two Chinese words for "Buddha" or "prosperity". They come in pairs to represent the yin & yang of life, the feminine & masculine. The Male sits to the right with his paw on a sphere to represent the earth & serves to protect the house & structure. The female sits to the left with her paw on a cub to represent the cycle of life & serves to protect the occupants & promote abundance. They are actually Imperial Guardian Lions that typically sit at the entrance of a prominent & affluent home. This beautiful stone statue can be your Imperial Guardian. There is a lovely ancient aura surrounding the foo Dog. Ideal for indoor & outdoor display.
