Great condition . HISTORY: From the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD) until today, the Chinese Foo Dog or Foo Lion has stood guard, with mystic powers to protect, in front of temples, imperial palaces, government offices, and homes of wealthy or high ranking members of society. Usually found, their mouths are wide open, seemingly roaring, and their faces have a devilish look to scare off evil spirits. The male's right paw is resting on a woven ball that symbolizes the Earth and unity of the Chinese Empire, and the female has a cub beneath her paw, symbolizing nurturing and protecting the inhabitants of the building.
