Introducing our stunning large Vietnamese hardwood sculpture, featuring three snarling Foo Dogs, an embodiment of protection and strength. This unique piece is a powerful representation of traditional symbolism merged with exceptional craftsmanship, making it a standout addition to any collection or space.
The sculpture captures three Foo Dogs, mythical beasts in Asian culture, known for their protective powers, crouching aggressively on a pile of intricately carved gold coins and ingots. These symbols of wealth and prosperity under the guardianship of the Foo Dogs add a layer of auspicious meaning to the sculpture.
Each Foo Dog is portrayed with extraordinary detail - from their flowing hair and pronounced jowls to their sharp teeth and penetrating eyes. The open mouths and fierce gazes of the beasts convey a sense of readiness to pounce, embodying the essence of guardianship and vigilance.
Crafted from high-quality Vietnamese hardwood, the sculpture showcases the natural beauty of the wood grain, which adds a warm, organic touch to the piece. The meticulous carving of each element, especially the texture of the hair and the realism of the expressions, highlights the skill and dedication of the artisan.
This large sculpture is not just a decorative item but a symbol of protection and strength. It is ideal for those who appreciate the rich symbolism in Asian art and seek a powerful statement piece for their home, office, or spiritual space. Its presence is believed to ward off negative energies and bring good fortune, making it a thoughtful and significant addition to any environment.

The use of a wood polish will keep the wood looking fresh and the colors vibrant.
Wood statues are easy to take care of as they just need some annual upkeep to keep them looking as they did when they were first carved. All the wood used by Lotus Sculpure's artists is dried out for months. Moisture causes cracks in the sculpture as the wood contracts and expands in different temperatures. Our wood has little to no moisture in it assuring that the sculpture is not going to crack in its journey into different climates. Here are some simple tips to keep your statue in good condition:
- Dust the statue as needed to prevent dirt build up
- To make the statue shine use a natural wood cleaner and a cotton cloth to buff the sculpture
We prefer Old English to polish and buff our statues. The use of a wood polish like Old English will keep the wood looking fresh and keep the colors looking vibrant. For natural wood and painted wooden statues we recommend Old English for lighter woods. For darker wood statues we recommend Old English for darker woods. Lotus Sculpture cleans and polishes each wooden statue prior to shipping them to the customer.
We recommend keeping wooden statues in an indoor environment. Wood statues can go outside however, they will wear more quickly and develop an antique appearance. If you would like to put a wood statue from Lotus Sculpture outside and keep the same appearance of the sculpture we would recommend first coating the statue with a couple of layers of sealant or polyurethane. We would then recommend placing the statue in a partially covered area. The more exposure to the elements the more the statue will wear over time. Please feel free to contact us directly if you have any questions regarding your wooden statue from Lotus Sculpture, (760) 994-4455 or [email protected].
