This image depicts two stone guardian lions, often referred to as "Foo Dogs" or "Shishi" lions in English, but known in Chinese as Shi. These statues are depicted in a traditional style and are commonly found at the entrance of Chinese imperial palaces, temples, emperors' tombs, government offices, and the homes of government officials and the wealthy, dating back to the Han Dynasty. Each lion typically has a distinct gender: the male rests his paw on an embroidered ball (which represents the world), while the female traditionally has a cub under her paw (representing the cycle of life). These statues are considered protective symbols that ward off evil spirits. The lions are stylized with exaggerated facial expressions, muscular bodies, and intricate detailing that suggests a mane and other features. In this particular set, both lions appear fierce and strong; however, without clear visibility of the paws' positioning and underfoot details, it's not possible to determine their gender definitively. The sculptures are monochromatic, captured in grayscale, potentially due to the photograph being black and white, or the original color of the statues being of a single tone. They appear to be carved out of stone, which would be typical for such guardian statues.
