Each statuette is individually crafted, so no two are identical. Oriental art collectors will appreciate the style and prized material of black stone. Foo Dogs are among the most recognized of Chinese entities. They stand guard outside the dragon seat (throne room) in the Forbidden City, and at imperial sites throughout China. Originally introduced to China with Buddhism, Foo Dogs have a close association with Buddha and Chinese concepts of harmony such as Feng Shui. The Buddha is sometimes depicted riding on the back of a lion, which is often considered the origin of the Foo Dog. First appearing in Chinese arts around 200 BC, Foo Dogs protect you from negative Chi and promote a balance of Yin and Yang. Interior designers use Foo Dogs to add a touch Asia or the exotic of to a room. From cubicals to curios these small Foo Dogs offer thousands of years worth of mythical protection, while adding style and class to any space. | | | Features: | |

black fu dogsFeb 22, 2009
By Connie Green I ordered this product for a valetine gift for my honey. It came to Hawaii and though the postal people know me very well, sent it back becuase it did not have my box number on it. The kind people at reorient, Ron, I think, sent it back quickly to me with the right box number. My honey got his fu dogs and I was very happy. I will do business with this company again! They have good products and care about customers.
