Description
This stone amulet, fashioned in the 20th century, pays homage to the enduring legacy of the Han Dynasty with its guardian lion visage. Measuring 8x6 cm, the amulet was likely created to capture the essence of ancient Chinese protective talismans. The lion, or 'Shi', symbolizes power and vigilance in Chinese culture and is often used to guard against negative influences. The craftsmanship, while reflective of traditional techniques, indicates a more contemporary production, suggesting a revival of interest in classical motifs. This piece serves as a cultural bridge, linking modern artistry with ancient traditions.
