The Shishi or fu dogs are the stone guardian lions of Chinese legend and a traditional ornament for many different types of buildings. They can be seen flanking the entrances and gates of both public and private structures. Each statue is masterfully crafted from magnesium and hand finished in a gorgeous antique bronze. Place yours in front of your building and attract customers and guests with their fierce presence.

Notice: There is a right way and a wrong way to display your Fu Dog set (according to feng shui that is - you can display your products anyway you wish). When facing the statues, the female should always be on the left and the male always on the right. You can identify the female by the pup under her paw, whereas the male has a ball under his paw.

Everything about the fu dog is symbolic and representative of protection. The female represents yin and defending the inhabitants of the home/building, her pup representing the nurturing spirit of a mother. The male represent yang and defending of the home/building itself, where the ball under his paw symbolizes the world. (Source: Impeccable Nest)
