Pair of Stone Fu Lion Guardians

Offered by: PAGODA RED

Description
This pair of limestone fu lion-dogs once protected a grand courtyard home in 19th-century China. Skillfully carved in attentive postures, the mythical lions are known as “shizi,” powerful yet benevolent creatures that were believed to offer protection from evil spirits and misfortune. A stunning addition to the garden, each of the stone guardians rests on an elongated base that once supported a wooden column, and today is the perfect place for a potted plant. // Depth: 24.0"
