Sharing with you this nicely decorated Ming bowl.
In the center of the bowl is a Buddhist lion, commonly called a Fo Dog (though it is not actually a dog).
These lions:
-
guard Buddhist temples
-
symbolise strength, protection, and good fortune
-
are often shown with a large, tufted tail, just like on your bowl
-
appear frequently on Kangxi-period and late-Ming export porcelain
Surrounding the lion you see scrolling cloud motifs (auspicious clouds, 祥云). These represent:
-
Heavenly energy (qi)
-
Good fortune
-
A connection to the celestial or spiritual world
This is a very standard combination with Buddhist lions.
