Know before you buy
Yes, the statue is constructed from high-quality designer resin reinforced with fiberglass, making it durable enough for outdoor display. However, to maintain the stone finish over time, we recommend placing it in a sheltered area or applying a UV-resistant clear coat if it will be in direct, harsh sunlight.
At 89 pounds, this piece has significant weight and a wide, stable base, making it well-suited for freestanding placement on level ground or a sturdy patio. For added security in high-traffic areas or windy environments, you may consider using a heavy-duty adhesive or mounting hardware.
This listing is for the Male Grand Palace Foo Dog only. In traditional Feng Shui, the male is typically placed on the right side of an entrance, holding the power orb, while the female is placed on the left, holding a cub.
You can keep the statue looking its best by gently wiping it down with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or debris. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbers, which could damage the faux stone texture and finish.
The statue is hollow-cast, which allows for its impressive 47.5-inch height while keeping the weight manageable at 89 pounds. The fiberglass reinforcement ensures the structure remains rigid and impact-resistant despite not being a solid block of material.
