Chinese Lion Dog Ornaments

1. Introduction of Chinese Lion Dog Ornaments

Stone lions are common gatekeepers in traditional Chinese architecture. Their origins can be traced back to the Han Dynasty and they are widely used in front of palaces, temples, mausoleums and mansions. Their image originates from the mythical reconstruction of lions. Although there were no native lions in ancient China, the image of lions introduced through the Silk Road gradually evolved into a symbol of majesty, protection and exorcism. Traditionally, a pair of male and female lions are often placed symmetrically: the male lion steps on the hydrangea with his right paw, symbolizing authority and rule; the female lion protects the young lion with her left paw, symbolizing reproduction and protection, representing “external authority and internal protection of the family”. This Chinese Lion Dog Ornaments is a typical bronze gate lion shape, with a solemn and majestic overall shape and exquisite details.

The male lion opens his mouth and glares, looking majestic, with his right paw pressing the hydrangea ball; the female lion also opens her mouth, caressing the young lion with her left paw, with maternal gentleness and majesty. Both Chinese Lion Dog Ornaments wear complicated bell ornaments and chest belts, symbolizing wealth and honor. The base is decorated with lotus and Huiwen patterns, adding solemnity and traditional charm. This pair of foo dog statue outdoor is widely used at the entrances of temples, mansions or gardens, with the meaning of warding off evil spirits and protecting peace.
