Meticulously hand-carved from solid Australian black jade, this elegant pair of guardian lions (案头狮) draws from ancient Chinese symbolism and architectural tradition. Traditionally placed at gates and doorways, these majestic creatures protect against negative energy and represent power, dignity, and harmony.
Here, the lions are crafted in seated poses—male with a paw on a globe (symbolizing worldly control), and female gently guarding a cub (symbolizing nurturing and continuity). Polished to a deep lustre, their muscular forms and expressive faces evoke a timeless authority, ideal for placing on a scholar’s desk, collector’s display, or corporate office as a statement of strength and protection.
Made from Australian jade known for its dense, rich black tone, the carvings display crisp detailing—from their coiled manes to the intricate collars—each detail embodying precision and grace.
