Set Of 2 Chinese Imperial Guardian Lions/ Fu Dogs
$20.99
- Symbolism and Purpose: Fu Dogs are believed to be powerful guardians that ward off evil spirits and negative energy, while attracting good luck and wealth. They are often placed at the entrance of homes or businesses for protection and to signify wealth and status.
- Paired Placement: They are always displayed in pairs, representing the balance of Yin and Yang energies. The male Fu Dog, typically on the right when facing the entrance, holds a ball (symbolizing the earth or power), while the female, usually on the left, has a cub under her paw (representing nurturing and protection of the inhabitants).
- Mouth Symbolism: In a pair, one often has an open mouth and the other a closed one. This can symbolize the "a" and "um" sounds, forming "a-um," which represents the sound of the universe or the beginning and end of all things. It can also signify inviting good luck in (open mouth) and trapping it within (closed mouth).
