About the Item

Ming Dynasty stone foo dog from the revered Beijing Summer Palace, dating back to the end of the 17th century. This magnificent sculpture depicts a powerful lion, imbued with the mythical strength and protective prowess of the legendary foo dog. The muscular lion is captured in a commanding stance, standing tall upon a stone pillar, its mane swept back in majestic waves. The stone, with its aged patina and subtle mineral deposits, exudes an aura of timelessness and reverence. As guardians of temples and courtyards, statues like this were revered for their symbolic importance, believed to ward off evil spirits and protect the sanctity of their surroundings. Through centuries of turmoil and triumph, this statue has stood as a sentinel of tradition and resilience, bearing witness to the passage of time and preserving the legacy of its storied lineage.
