Chinese Foo Dogs (Jade, 6.5")

Chinese Foo Dogs are not only a masterful piece of art, but they also have significant meaning. Foo dogs sculptures were used in ancient culture to guard Buddhist temples in Asia. Their threatening appearance were thought to help guard against evil spirits. Today, Foo Dogs not only guard temples, they are found as home accents to help ward off evil spirits. The two Foo Dogs are crafted from jade and imported from China. Each dog measures approximately 6.5 inches tall.
