The statues in the image are a Shisa, also known as a Foo Dog or Chinese guardian lion, made of red resin with ruby-colored eyes. Shisas are traditional Okinawan (Ryukyu) decorations that resemble a cross between a lion and a dog and are often displayed in pairs. They are believed to protect buildings and homes from harmful influences. When displayed in pairs, one Shisa typically has an open mouth, and the other has a closed mouth.
