  • Antique Chinese Style Temple Guardian Lions Foo Dogs Imperial Lions (Pair) - 10.5cm/4"

    Measures (Height) 10.5cm/4"

    A pair of antique Chinese style Temple Guardian lions, Imperial Guardian lions, Shishi Lions or Foo Dogs.

    Since the introduction of the lion symbolism from Indian culture especially through Buddhist symbolism, statues of guardian lions have traditionally stood in front of Chinese Imperial palaces, Imperial tombs, government offices, temples, and the homes of government officials and the wealthy, and are believed to have powerful protective benefits.

    Each statue is carved in the round to show a strength body with an ornate coiffure with full lips and almond-shaped eyes with incised pupils beneath gently curving brows.

    The casting of this piece is beautiful as you can see in the fine details of the face. Each detail is rendered perfectly. The distinctive patina of the piece is also particularly delightful. This traditional in appearance piece is sure to add serenity to your home, office or sacred space.

The Naga and dragon arrived and have settled in. They are all very beautiful pieces, and they will give me much inspiration and protection for a long time. Thank you once again for making my home a sanctuary! May the Naga protect you!

I received the Buddha early afternoon on Friday. It is much prettier than I could have ever expected. The pictures do not show the beauty of this piece. It is amazing. You are amazing as well for sending it to me so fast and so well packaged. Thank you so much. I feel so lucky to have this piece and thank you so much for making that happen.
