• They make perfect decor for your office, book shelves, desktop and what have you. Foo Lions (also known as Fu Dogs) traditionally guarded the entry to Buddhist temples in China and Japan, warding off evil and protecting the sacred precincts, and Wright may well have intended this male and female pair as guardians when he placed them at the entry of Taliesin.
• Since the introduction of the lion symbolism from Indian culture especially through Buddhist symbolism, statues of guardian lions have traditionally stood in front of Chinese Imperial palaces, Imperial tombs, government offices, temples, and the homes of government officials and the wealthy, from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), and were believed to have powerful mythic protective benefits.
