Foh in Chinese means Buddha, and these legendary animals are widely seen in front of Buddhist temples, palaces, homes, and homes of the royal. Because of their strength and legendary power, Foo dogs are also commonly embroidered on robes of ancient Chinese royalty and officials. These beautiful creatures are considered sacred in Buddhism and Chinese culture, and are a symbol of wisdom, protection, power and positive chi. These lion-like creatures are often found as a pair.
