A LOVELY PAIR OF GLAZED POTTERY BLUE FOO DOGS, IN GOOD CONDITION, MARKED WITH IMPRESSED NUMBERS TO BASE, 11cm height.
The Foo Dog was the protector of sacred buildings and a defender of law. The dogs were commonly placed at business institutions, temple gates, home entrances, and estates. It was also not uncommon to see these sacred dogs guarding tombs or placed in front of government buildings to scare evil spirits. Through out the ages, Foo Dogs were frequently given as gifts to the Emperor. They would be presented in sculptures or in the form of artwork
