Pair of antique Tibetan hand carved Temple Mu Foo dogs

Item Details

Description

Antique pair of Tibetan hand carved wood Temple Mu or Foo Dogs measuring 16 inches long x 11 inches wide x 9 inches height. Unique antique pair of hand carved Asian temple Mu dogs.Mu which means nothingness, lies at the heart of Buddhism. But why a dog? In the Zen tradition, the dog was deemed a low creature. A dog was also used as a metaphor for a new student—one who would ingest anything without discrimination—just like a dog. Also Known as the “Holy Dog of Tibet,” Tibetan dogs have served in a wide range of roles, including livestock guardians and herders, monastery sentries, and all purpose guardian caravan dogs.
