Pair of Gold and Glass Foo Dog Dragons

Foo dogs are commonly found near temples, garden entrances, and homes for they are considered protectors of buildings and guard against evil spirits. Foo dogs are known for their fierce appearance and it is said that the foo dog with the open mouth sucks in all evil spirits. Our Foo Dogs are exquisitely hand-carved by Worldstock artisans in the village of Ban Twai in the Golden Triangle region of northern Thailand. Made of wood, they are coated with lacquer and gold paint, and then inlaid with stained glass. Worldstock brings you authentic handcrafted goods from a variety of world cultures.
