Description

【Mr. Cypress - Raden - Animal head- Lion】
The lion is the most common auspicious beast in Chinese culture. It is the incarnation of wisdom and strength, and has the meaning of auspiciousness, prosperity and endless life. The lion occupies the supreme position among the beasts, and its statue has become a symbol of authority, status, and peace. It has been erected at the gates of many dignitaries and ancient government offices, especially the bronze lion outside the National Palace Museum. It is magnificent and tall!

While in Western culture, it is said that when England was conquered by Norman and established the Norman dynasty, the shield they used on the battlefield was a lion, so the embryonic form of the emblem of the Kingdom of England for thousands of years also came from this. Later, based on the traditional lion coat of arms of the Norman kings, the house of Anjou gradually became the three-golden lion emblem on the red background of England, symbolizing the leadership of the Kingdom of England to the nobility and the majesty of the king.
