In Ancient China, statues of mythical creatures known as Fu Dogs were placed outside homes, palaces, and businesses to ward off evil spirits and keep thieves at bay.
The Male dog is usually a bit larger, and has his foot resting upon a ball. This represents the world, or the home. The Female has her foot resting upon a baby Fu Dog, representing the family. Thus, the male protects the home, and the female protects the family.
A magnificient pair of Fu Dogs cast from Hong Tze resin, in a traditional red finish. Ships in four pieces. Heavy Weight! 18 inches high and 18 deep.
