Symbolism and Significance

In Chinese culture, these guardian lions, often referred to as Foo Dogs or shishi, hold a revered position, traditionally placed at the entrances of temples, palaces, and homes to ward off evil spirits and protect the occupants. Their placement also symbolizes power, strength, and prosperity. The male lion, typically depicted with a ball beneath its paw, represents power, while the female lion, which often holds a cub under its paw (not depicted in this model) symbolizes motherhood and protection. By placing these lions in your home, you invite positive energy and safeguard your dwelling.

Crafted from solid brass, these figurines are a testament to exceptional craftsmanship. The intricate detailing is truly remarkable, from the lions' expressive faces and flowing manes to the delicate patterns adorning their bodies.

The weight of the figures lends them a sense of solidness and authenticity adding to the feeling of artistry involved in their creation.
