Asian Foo Dogs Garden Statue Fu Dogs

The Foo Dog of Asia has also been called the “Lion of Buddha” and that name is actually much more accurate, since it is a lion and not a dog at all. Known also as Fu Dogs, Fo Dogs, and karashishi (in Japan), they are used extensively in Asian art, sculpture. It is ideal for your ancient art and museum replica interior decor. Foo Dogs occur in pairs, placed at gated entrances, for example, seated and yet always ready. The Foo Dog to the right is typically thought of as male, with the mouth open a bit, one front paw resting on a sphere, which is often carved as open latticework and represents both heaven and the totality of Buddhist law. Made from bonded marble and designer resin, antique stone finish with gray and green tones, suitable for indoor or outdoor use. This fine art statue is made of resin with hand-painted color details and measures 18in.H x 7in.W x 11in.D each.
