Original piece is in Stoneware under the Liao dynasty (947-1125). A fundamental, symbolic theme in China, the lion evokes majesty, monarchy, power and supremacy. Known as "Fu Dogs" or Keiloon, lions were symbolic of superhuman strength, and were protectors and supporters of holy beings, emblems of bravery and energy.
