Note from AI:

These statues are often referred to as “Foo Dogs” or “Fu Dogs” in Western cultures; however, these striking statues are actually stylized representations of Chinese guardian lions. Their true name in China is “shi” (lion) or “shishi” (stone lion).

As guardians, Foo Dogs are always displayed in pairs, representing the balance of yin and yang energies.
