Protector

jade Chinese guardian lion Catholicism and other Christian religions may be dominant in the Philippines, but many Filipinos see no inconsistency in adopting feng shui elements in their homes and commercial establishments. This jade fu dog, which is more properly called a Chinese guardian lion, was on one side of a bakery's display case. I assume there was another at the other side, since they're always supposed to come in pairs.

The bakery business must be good to afford such a beautifully carved jade piece.
