About the Item

A fine pair of Chinese carved hardwood figures of Foo dogs from mid-20th century. These exquisite hand-carved wooden Foo dogs display the exceptional craftsmanship of Chinese artisans. Each Foo dog is well carved, capturing the regal and protective essence of these revered guardian lions. Adding to their allure, these Foo dogs feature a unique and captivating detail: a rolling wood 'pearl' found in the mouth of each Foo dog, symbolizing the sacred breath or the world and material elements. Each Foo dog has one foot resting on a carved wood Pinyin or puzzle ball, a traditional motif symbolizing unity and harmony.
