Pi Sho are an ancient Chinese mythical doglike creature that have a single horn on the back of the head and sometimes will be seen with wings. They first appear in Chinese history circa 250 BC.
The legend is they are the ninth offspring of the dragon. The legend states that they were playing in the courtyard and annoyed the Jade God. The Jade God disciplined them by taking away their ability to release. So they can take in but never release.
As the ninth offspring of dragon they were sent here by the Dragon King to protect mankind from evil. They are loyal only to their master and are as fierce as a Dragon.
They are great at protecting spaces like a bedroom or house because of their territorial nature. They are frequently used to protect their masters’ alter and will scare away spirits which do not serve the highest and best good of their master.
They are used in Feng Shui to attract wealth and protect wealth that has already been accumulated. This is due to their attraction to gold and silver.
Pi Sho are created as a pair and must be kept together for them to be effective. Their energy is based on the yin and yang.
To invoke their power just place one hand on each of their heads and focus on what you desire them to protect.
These statues are hand carved from serpentine. Serpentine is a natural stone and will vary in color and size. As a hand carving each statue will vary slightly in appearance. The benefit of hand carving is each statue is a unique creation of a single craftsman. We strive for consistency in appearance, however there is no guarantee all statues will look exactly the same.
