Fu Dogs are the Chinese guardians of Imperial palaces. They're also known as Stone Lions, Foo Dogs, and Shishi. They resemble a lion and the Chow Chow and Shih Tzu dog breeds. 

Fu Dogs are always placed in pairs around an entrance, gate or door. The female, yin energy, on the left, holds a cub under her paw. She is the protector of the occupants. The male, yang energy, sits on the right. He holds a globe under his paw and is the guardian of the property. 

Fu Dogs placed at gates, walkways, or flanking front doors give an elegant and  protected feel to a property.

This pair of Fu Dogs is hard carved from Marble.

Carver Skill: A moving ball carved inside the mouth of a fu dog is carved so that it rolls freely but cannot be removed.  The moving ball is a testament to the skill of the sculptor.   Both Fu Dogs have this feature, showing the level of carving mastery of the artist. 

This Fu Dog pair is currently on Kauai and ready to ship or deliver. You will receive the Fu Dogs pictured.
