This ceramic Chinese temple lion is a powerful and decorative object with deep symbolic meaning. Also known as a Fu Dog, this type of statue is traditionally placed at the entrances of buildings to offer protection against negative influences and evil spirits. This is the male version and was presumably made in the 1950s/60s for export.
