Asian statue
Carved amber seated Foo Dog on a base with its right paw on top of a laying baby Foo Fod. Foo Dogs are really lions, the proud Mother of the feline race.

Later introduced in Chinese primitive art, the lion became associated with Buddhism as the defender of law and protector of sacred buildings.
