Chinese Jade Foo Dogs. The jade, or stone resembling its pale green hue, beautifully exhibits shades that span from milky white to pale jade green. The Foo Dogs possess a playful, lively appearance, each perched on its individual squared base. The ornaments are meticulously carved, showcasing remarkable attention to detail in their facial and bodily features. Foo Dogs, also known as Chinese guardian lions, are iconic symbols of protection and strength in Chinese culture.
Traditionally depicted in pairs, these majestic statues are characterized by their striking features, including flowing manes and wide-open mouths, symbolizing their role as guardians of the place they adorn. The female Foo Dog, representing 'yin,' holds a lion cub beneath her paw, signifying compassion and nurture. Conversely, the male Foo Dog, representing 'yang,' is depicted with his paw on top of a ball, symbolizing control over circumstances and earthly matters. In Feng Shui practice, Foo Dogs are positioned on either side of doorways, facing outward to ward off negative energies. The male Foo Dog is typically placed on the right side, while the female is positioned on the left, ensuring harmony and protection for the space.
These mythical creatures, also referred to as Chinese Guardian Lions or Imperial Guardian Lions, are not only decorative but are believed to possess powerful protective qualities, blocking negative influences from entering buildings. Modern interpretations of Foo Dogs can vary, from small figurines for indoor display to larger sculptures crafted from materials like jadeite. These pieces showcase exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail, embodying the timeless allure and symbolic significance of these revered guardians. The legend of the Fu Dog traces back to Chinese mythology, where it is believed to have originated from a stone dog toy brought to life by a god, embodying qualities of strength and intelligence revered throughout history. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
