Fos series, China, 20th century, blue lacquered porcelain. Guardian lion statues have traditionally stood in front of Chinese imperial palaces, imperial tombs, administrative buildings, temples and the residences of officials and the wealthy classes since the Han dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD). They were believed to be endowed with protective powers. They also appear in other artistic contexts, for example on door knockers and pottery. Pairs of guardian lion statues are still common decorative and symbolic elements at the entrances to restaurants, hotels, supermarkets and other structures, with one sitting on either side of the entrance, in China and other parts of the world where Chinese have immigrated and settled, particularly in local Asian neighborhoods. Lions are usually depicted in pairs, the male resting his paw on a decorated ball (which, in an imperial context, represents supremacy over the world) and a female holding a lion cub (representing education.
