A pair of Asian Foo Dogs/ Fu Dogs carved from mottled Jade. The jade is light in colour overall with darker veins throughout.

Foo Dogs are symbolic, protective statues, and are designed in pairs – one is female, the other is male.

Female represents yin and symbolically protects the people dwelling inside the home, while the male statue, representing yang, protects the structure itself.

Foo dogs symbolise prosperity, success and guardianship.
