Fu Gold Lion Sculptures 25cm

Decorative sculptures of Buddhist Fu Lions to decorate the environment and protect books.
These decorative arts used as bookends are made in gold resin and represent, in rich detail, the guardians of Buddha's teachings. Fu Lions are also known as "Buddha Lions", "Fu Dogs" or "Rui Shi". They were positioned at the front of palaces, temples, tombs, government buildings and homes from the Han Dynasty until the fall of the Empire in 1911, as they were believed to have strong mystical powers.

They are always represented in pairs, with the female on the left and the male on the right. Under the male's paw is a ball, which represents the "Cycle of Life"; already under the female's paw is a puppy, which represents the "Flower of Life". In Feng Shui decoration, an ancient Chinese art developed to create harmonious environments, it is considered a powerful symbol of protection and balance. Inserting it in the decoration of the house or on the bookshelf attracts good fortune and protects residents from negative energies.
