Han Dynasty Foo Dogs
Han Dynasty Foo Dogs
These traditional Chinese Foo Dogs, or Lions, are an auspicious addition to the home.
Originally dating for China’s Han Dynasty (206 BC), they were thought to ward off evil spirits and were placed on either side of temple doors.
This pair include a male and female figure. The male sits on the right with his paw on a ball, which symbolises the Earth, and the female on the left, with her paw resting on a cub to symbolise a nurturing and protecting element.
Our contemporary version of this ancient pair originate from Jingdezhen, China’s heartland of blue and white ceramic production.
