Lion culture exists finely in China, even if China is not lions' home country. The obvious example is there are rich stone lions in the old ancient architecture in Beijing. In the old days, the stone lions were always set before the gates of palaces, official residence, yamun and temples to present the authority for its' high position in the animals. In the folk, the rich family set stone lions on both side of the gates as Mendun to guard the houses and keep the evil outside. Stone lions to be part of the traditional architecture glitter in the Chinese traditional architecture. Stone lions as the rare cultural bequest should be protected well.  This is a SPECTACULAR pair of stone sculpture of foo dogs (lion) that will make a GRAND impression on any space, whether you display them in your entranceway or in your garden, foyer, or any other place within an elegant estate.
