- The Foo Dogs are sold as a set of 2 statues, male and female
- Foo dogs are not dogs at all but guardian lions keep out evil forces who are called Shishi
- Each Lion is hand carved from one piece of stone the size of a car taking a full year to carve each piece
- The Lions are in our warehouse in Bali and ship to you directly from Bali

The lions are carved so that a ball is in their mouth. The ball can move around in the mouth and is often touched by people passing by them. The lions are muscular and powerful displaying an abundance of muscles and stong curly hair from their mane and on their backs. The cursl looks like waves from the ocean. There is a large collar around each lion with the face of a lion carved on the front with a bell attached to it. Truly stunning sculptures worthy of the entrance to a grand temple or meditation garden!
The Lions are in our warehouse in Bali and are shipped directly to the customer upon the order. Shipping from Bali to the closest major port in the world is included in the price of the sculpture. Please call 1-760-994-4455 or email the owner for more information [email protected].
Lava stone statues from Bali do not need much maintenance. The best way to maintain the statue is to simply dust the piece periodically to keep any dirt from accumulating. They can be used for both indoor and outdoor use.
Soap and warm water is the best way to maintain the statue. You can use a small brush to get into the small crevices of the statue like the hands and hair.
Lava stone's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. The stone can stand up to the harshest conditions of heat and bitter cold. We suggest you bathe the sculpture at least once a year so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture. This will maintain the sculpture for your grandchildren and then their grandchildren!
If you have any questions concerning your lava stone statue please email us at [email protected] or call us at 1(760) 994-4455.

The delivery charges include insurance, a residential lift gate delivery to your home or business. The freight company will call you to schedule a delivery day and time frame to make the delivery. Someone must be present to receive the statue. Depending on where you are located we will use either R&L Carriers, UPS Freight, Estes, DHX or Roadrunner Transport.
The freight company will use a lift gate to bring the sculpture to the ground and then use a pallet jack to move it anywhere on the same level. They will move it anywhere in your driveway or in your garage. They will not take it to your backyard or in the elevator to your apartment or up or down any steps. They will not be unpacking the statue and taking the crate away. Think of them as you would UPS or Fedex. They only deliver the statue. If you require a little extra service, (within reason) a tip to a delivery man usually works wonders!
For placing the statue our customers have either placed the statue themselves with help of a friend and a tool like a hand truck or a dolly. Or by contacting their landscaper who is used to moving large and heavy objects like rocks and trees into place. For much larger and heavier sculptures sometimes the customer needs a piece of heavy equipment for placing the statue like a crane or forklift.
