Description
Chinese guardian lions, also called Fu (Foo) Lions, Shishi, lions of Buddha, or sometimes stone lions in Chinese art, are a common representation of the lion in pre-modern China, which is believed to have powerful mythic protective powers. Pairs of Chinese guardian lions, also called Chinese stone lions are still common decorative and symbolic elements at the entrances to restaurants, hotels, supermarkets and other structures, with one sitting on each side of the entrance.
