Comment
Buddhist Guardian Lions, commonly known as Foo Dogs, appeared in China during the Han dynasty. With their protective powers the lions watched over imperial palaces, temples and tombs. Popularity of Guardian Lions has risen steeply since then, and they are nowadays commonly seen guarding entrances to hotels, restaurants and people’s homes. The lions are usually shown in pairs with a male lion resting a paw on sphere and the female lion restraining a cub.Interesting fact
The Chinese Guardian Lions: Female coin is a unique piece that features a female lion standing on its hind legs, with its front paws on a ball and its head turned to the side. This design is a departure from the traditional depiction of male lions as the guardians, and instead, highlights the importance of female guardianship and protection in Chinese culture.
