Stone Lion

It’s an ancient belief among the Chinese that having a pair of stone lions outside of temples, government buildings and palaces will bring protection and good luck to the buildings. This stone lion here depicts a female lion, clutching a ball under it’s right paw which symbolizes the circle of life.

7 Storey Pagoda
