Dogs bearing baskets or shields appeared in European heraldic and decorative traditions from the medieval period onward, serving as loyal supporters in coats of arms and later as garden ornaments on estate grounds. The motif carried associations with fidelity, abundance, and domestic order, all qualities that made it well-suited to entrance ways and gardens. Sold as a pair. 8"w x 14.5"d x 24"h See less
