Large Foo Dog Lion Dragon Thai Asian Wood Mosaic Gold Gilt Statue
Guardian lions are symbolic, protective statues, and they are designed in pairs one is female, the other is male. The female statue protects the people dwelling inside the home, while the male statue protects the structure itself.Larger versions of chinthe guardian lions are positioned in pairs to the left and right of the entrances to temples, pagodas and smaller shrines across Burma. Chinthe generally have a lions body and a lions head with an open mouth and fangs. They exist in larger sizes made of stone or of plastered brickwork, and in smaller sizes made of bronze, wood, such as the present one, or of other materials. Small chinthes are also used as good luck amulets for personal success in daily life. In addition, the chinthe guardian lion is used in the old Burmese calendar as the symbolic animal for the third day of the week (Tuesday).
