Description

There seems to be some confusion over these Temple Dogs as they are also referred to in the western world as Foo Dogs but in reality are actually lions.

Traditionally used in Chinese culture to guard temples and high status buildings, palaces, tombs and the like, they have now become ubiquitous, providing security for many different, and some prosaic, locations.

Used decoratively they are normally seen in pairs, an entrance having one on each side, and portrayed with one paw resting on a globe indicating the temple dog's dominance over the world.

Their fierce protective nature is superbly depicted by these marble ornaments that come, in line with tradition, as a pair, with every scary nuance carefully reproduced from an original piece.
