Both animals have naturalistic poses. An auspicious creature, this crouching Fo dog (or Lion dog) unusually does not look ferocious; it is carved smoothly with no angular incised lines. It has a contented pose with an uplifted snout and closed mouth. Its front legs quietly stretch out in front of his chest. The paws have distinctive claws. His pointed ears are laid back. The eyes are not bulging but rather half-opened, looking upward to the snooping eagle. The emerald blotches are nicely rendered on the top of the eagle's head, giving it a sense of grace and tranquility. Both the Fo Dog and the eagle are symbols of superhuman strength and are known as protectors. Their functions as jade animal figures are debatable. Very few pieces can be accurately and reliably dated. From the Han to the Qing dynasty, they were traditionally used as tomb goods, decorative items, collectibles, or for the enjoyment of officials and scholars. These auspicious creatures were probably viewed in a very different way by their owners. Their symbolic meanings intend to benefit the owners in many ways. This carving might have functioned as a paper weight as it has rectangular, strong features and a steady base. Based on its carving style, this item could be basically attributed to the late Qing period when later animal carvings were essentially pictures. The jade of this period had lost its associations with permanence and immortality."},{"label":"Title","value":"Eagle perching on a crouching Lion Dog (shih tzu kou) or Fo Dog"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
