Foo dogs are commonly found near temples, garden entrances, and homes for they are considered protectors of buildings and guard against evil spirits. Foo dogs are known for their fierce appearance and it is said that the foo dog with the open mouth sucks in all evil spirits.
Our Foo Dogs are exquisitely hand-carved by Worldstock artisans in the village of Ban Twai in the Golden Triangle region of northern Thailand. Made of wood, they are coated with lacquer and gold paint, and then inlaid with stained glass.

I did not look at the foo dogs closey enough online. It appeared to me that the glass was behind the gold wood work. I didn't not realize there were bits of colored mirror affixed to the gold work, although it is obvious if you look close enough. I can see how some people liked them in that the bits of glass make it look colorful and shiny. But to me they were garish with poor workmanship. The bits of glass were not positioned well within the gold of the foo dogs. I collect foo dogs but these were not worthy of my collection.
