  • The Foo Dogs are enormous and completely amazing!
  • Foo dogs are not dogs at all but guardian lions keep out evil forces from entering ones home or a temple
  • They are always displayed as a pair with a male and female lion. The male is depicted with a globe underneath his large paw and the female has a smaller lion on his back under her paw. This is a manifestation of yin and yang, the female representing yin and the male yang
  • Each Lion is hand carved from one block of stone and sits on a separate stone base
The pair of Foo Dogs are huge! In the west they are referred to as Foo Dogs but they are not actually dogs at all but Chinese guardian lions are known as Shishi. They are iconic images of pre-modern China and have traditionally stood outside imperial palaces and the wealthy. They are believed to have powerful protective benefits. They are always displayed as a pair with a male and female lion. The male is depicted with a globe underneath his large paw and the female has a smaller lion on his back under her paw. This is a manifestation of yin and yang, the female representing yin and the male yang. According to feng shui, correct placement of the lions is important to ensure their beneficial effect. When looking out of a building through the entrance to be guarded, looking in the same direction as the lions, the male is placed on the left and the female on the right. When looking at the entrance from outside the building, facing the lions, the male lion is on the right, and the female is on the left. 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 sculpture chooses you. You know when you find the right piece to bring into your home and into your heart."

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.

You can use soap, warm water and a cotton cloth to periodically go over the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup.

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.
