Free worldwide shipping · Made to order & shipped from a lab near you · Arrives in ~5–8 days (US) · Damaged? Free replacement.
A weathered bronze guardian lion sits on a carved stone plinth before the painted eaves and red columns of an imperial hall, its mane curled in tight rows and one paw resting on an ornamented ball. Paired guardian lions — a male with a ball, a female with a cub — flank the gates and halls of the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Ming and Qing imperial palace completed in 1420. The bright polychrome bracketing above contrasts with the green-patinated bronze below. Imperial symbolism cast in metal, standing watch for six centuries.
