Chinese Foo Dog Statues - Invaluable

Foo dogs are meant to be guardians that ward off evil and ill fortune. Traditionally used as guardians of palaces and imperial households, the rank of the official to whom the statue guarded was discernable by the number of curls on the foo dog’s head. The lesser the rank, the fewer the curls. While foo dog statues might appear as individual statues, more often they come in pairs. One statue usually represents the male and one the female.
