Custom hand carved natural stone guardian lion statue
Standing proudly side by side, clearly teamed up but also subtly individual, this pair of guardian lion statues takes its place among the most instantly recognizable motifs in the history of marble sculpture, and now they can be yours! And just as you start to suspect that the pair of stone lions are completely identical, you will start to see striking differences: one of the lions is cradling a cub, whose adorable efforts to emulate the power of their parent gives it a small strength of its own; the other seems to be standing over some kind of orb, or perhaps an ornamental knob on its pedestal. The subtle beige color of the Hunan white marble doesn’t distract from the immense detail and texture of the sculptor’s handiwork, nor does its matching pedestal… aside from a striking dash of red that seems to support the lions above like a platform of color.
