More images of those glorious Fu Dogs! Rights always belong to the image owner – if you like a picture then click their link and visit them!

I received these two Fu Dogs as a gift  -  I think they are some kind of worked stone – they’re really heavy and pretty intricately done. I think of them as Japanese inspired since they are a left and right pair without a cub and one has its mouth open and the other does not – and I think of the tri-spoke ‘badge’ that is on the balls as something maybe a Samurai would use. I put them in front of a big concrete seated Buddha figure, painted in acrylic bright pink paint and let weather for a couple of years outside, to take their pictures. Enjoy!

(Thank you everyone for sharing your images!)

Just a quick Fu Dog posting of a pair from my collection – this pair is only about 5 inches tall; they both can rest comfortably in an adults palm. (Yes, those are deer antlers painted white in the background.) There are 3 numbers, “058” impressed in the ceramic base/bottom of the female Fu Dog statue, but otherwise no markings.

I‘ve looked at a lot of Fu Dogs – are you kidding me? – I‘ve never seen another one quite like this one. I bought it from an antique store some years back. It doesn’t have the traditional Fu Dog appearance, and yet it does – and yet you’ll see that it doesn’t . There is just the one, it has a cub. I don’t think, however, that the Fu Dog is a female… In a way it is like a bacchanal figure, celebrating wine. And yet, it has the Fu Dog appearance, slightly, in that it is a doggish animal on a pedestal. There is also a ribbon-esque effect of the ‘fabric’ held in its ‘paws’. I was entranced when I saw it and purchased it the same day (a strange impulse to be certain – I normally don’t buy anything on the first day). I’ve not seen a base treatment like this one either – I can’t make out the imagery since it is glazed and all the details have ‘disappeared’ underneath the thickness of the glaze. Overall a piece I like alot. If it is truly a Fu Dog, or a Guardian Lion, is debatable. Please enjoy!

My earlier posting of tattoos was well received. Here are more tattoos. I’ve arranged it so each image, when clicked, opens in its own window (unlike the first post where I recommend right click and select to open in a new window – now I’ve figured that out). There are some images that are what I would consider good tattoo inspiration, and there are a couple that have elephant snouts – how crazy is that!?
