Single Fu Dog # 10807
Ceramic Bisque Fu dog stands approximately 4 inches tall.
Foo dogs are prominent in the Buddhist religion and widespread over the far east, thus the Korean designation as "Lion of Korea." The Chinese call it the "Dog of Fo," Fo, being the Chinese word for Buddha. It was found at the threshold of Buddhist temples. The lion is sacred to Buddhism and is sometimes presented as offerings to Buddha. An alternate explanation for the name is that it is derived from the cityof Foochow. Earliest traces of the animal show up in art from the Han Dynasty dating from approximately 208 BC to 221 AD. The animal disappeared from use for the next 400 years, reappearing during the T'ang Dynasty, 618 to 917 AD. Usually the companion of Buddha, the foo dog is considered to be a fantastic animal.
