The green color is cleverly utilized to show the calm and smiling figure of a boy against the vibrant russet brown of a furious Fo dog or Lion dog (shi tzu kou), a conventionalized Chinese form of the hybrid Chinese Buddhist lion that symbolizes fearsomeness. This is the archaic representation (ts'ang) of the Fo Dog which means venerable, or hoary. It is easy to mistake the Fo dog for the Ch'i-lin since it has a composite body: a dragon head, a curled and flame-like bushy fur on his shoulder and tail, and slender legs. This uncontrollable lion dog, crouching and hiding behind the boy's back, turns his head sideways and upwards, with an open square jaw that displays pointed teeth as if trying to menace the viewer. The animal has bulging eyes, bushy eyebrows, long ears, and a bifurcated tail that spirals around his back. He angrily clenches a rope held firmly in the left hand of the boy who is smiling contently for being able to tame such fierce animal. The jade carvers of the Qing dynasty, especially the Qianlong period, produced the finest copies of the flamboyant ts'ang Lion Dog."},{"label":"Title","value":"Carving of a boy taming a crouching ts'ang Lion Dog (archaic Fo Dog)"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
