Dog? Leo? China?
 

Good day!
Please help me learn more about this beast of a tree?
From what country he may be?
Looks like a dog ....

I believe that is the Chinese lion, the lion-guard.
But most of all, it is not from China and from Japan.
I would appreciate some advice on dating my lion

Thank you

Not a lion.
We need a lion - mane and fangs.
And then there's mane, the ridge with the build-up, and none of the canine teeth.

It's not even Japanese Komain - a dog with a lion's head.
 
Could it be the mythical "cylinder"?

But most likely, a Chinese crested dog, which greatly angered

Thank you, amuse.

And yet from such a dog /lion at the entrance to Kamakura

Dog of Fo . Carefully guess that this is even so , China . Although it is possible that some of the neighbors in Southeast Asia. It is possible that the same Vietnam.

Hardly a topic missed .
Of course the dog Fo, it is also a lion guardian of Buddha.

China has never seen a lion , so they took the dog for the prototype and added it to attributes such as spines, excrescences and mane, a hybrid .

Typically, these figures paired. Represent the masculine and feminine .
In the male at the hands of a ball , a symbol of Buddhist wisdom , the other a small puppy.

I agree with Antony, a figure comes from China or the surrounding area ( Korea and Southeast Asia).

Thank you very much!
And for a time you do not have ideas?

I'm here too, the dog lived for Pho 16 and a half years.

Their very name comes from the city of Beijing. The Chinese name Fu Dogs Pekingese , as far as this breed is revered in China can be judged by an incredible amount of works of art depicting Pekingese .
