Chinese guardian lions, also called Foo Lions, lions of Buddha, are a common representation of the lion in pre-modern China, which is believed to have powerful mythic protective powers that has traditionally stood in front of Chinese Imperial palaces, temples, emperors' tombs, government offices and the homes of government officials and the wealthy from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD), until the end of the empire in 1911.
Lions of Fo are always created in pairs, with the male playing with a ball and the female with a cub.
