Lost Miniatures - Chinese Guardian Lion Statue - 1/12 Scale - Aged Copper finish - Mini Statue - Diorama, dollhouse - stone!

Chinese guardian lions, or imperial guardian lions, are a traditional Chinese architectural ornament, but the origins lie deep in much older Indian Buddhist traditions. Typically made of stone, they are also known as stone lions or shishi (石獅; shíshī). They are known in colloquial English as lion dogs or foo dogs / fu dogs. The concept, which originated and became popular in Chinese Buddhism, features a pair of highly stylized lions—often one male with a ball which represents the material elements

These statues are finished in a warm, aged copper & green patina standing 2cm tall.

Perfect for your miniature set, diorama or dollhouse plus a perfect addition to your book nook.
