Description

For thousands of years, these majestic creatures have represented the best omens in Eastern culture. Artists from the Lladró High Porcelain workshop have recreated this ancient tradition in these limited edition pieces, richly decorated with lustre and different textures and finishes. These lions, inspired by traditional statues of bronze, iron or granite that flank the doors of palaces, temples and noble houses in various Eastern countries, are presented in pairs and protect the buildings from evil spirits. Seen from the front, the male is on the right side and takes care of the structure, represented by the ball he holds with his paw, while the female is on the left side and takes care of the inhabitants. This lion is depicted in pairs with the lioness (black) and there are two other decorative versions. Black, blue and silver predominate in the decoration, giving the piece a very modern look. Artists at the High Porcelain Workshop recreate and embellish every detail of the piece, such as the elaborate decoration of the skirts and breastplates, the introduction of the necklace as a decorative element, and the exuberant modeling of the manes and tails. Authentic filigree work turns these impressive sculptures into a work that stands midway between millennial tradition and the creator's creation.
