Playfully protective, fu dogs walk the perimeter of these elaborately carved limestone column bases that date from around 1800. Reflecting the architectural function it once played, the base is sculpted like a building, with the lower portion sheltered by an upper tier supported by columns. The terrace top provides the perfect vantage point for the ever-watchful fu dogs. Skillfully sculpted, this unusual object adds intrigue tucked within a garden setting or adorning the front entrance.
