Why Sitting Lion Statues are Used: Guardians for the Home and Business

Sitting lion statues are commonly used as symbols of strength, protection, and power across various cultures. They are often placed at the entrances of homes, buildings, temples, or palaces as guardians, where they are said to ward off evil spirits and protect the inhabitants from harm. In Chinese culture, these statues are known as "Fu Lions" or "Foo Dogs," and are often seen in pairs, with one male lion holding a ball (symbolizing the world) and the female lion playing with a cub (representing fertility and protection). In the West, sitting lion statues convey regal authority, courage, and leadership and are often found in European monuments or coats of arms where they represent nobility and bravery. Regardless of the culture, the general perception of the lion is one of strength and majesty making it a powerful representation of guardianship, authority, and power.

Lion statues are often placed at the front entrances of homes where they are seen as symbols of protection, strength, and good luck. They serve to create an aura of authority and prestige around the home. The strategic placement at the entrance ensures that the home is safeguarded from external threats or misfortune. The other reason why lion statues are added to the home entrances is decorative, adding grandeur and an element of majesty to the exterior of a home, reflecting the owner's wealth or status.

A sitting lion typically symbolizes strength, calm authority, and watchful protection. The posture of a sitting lion suggests both power and composure, as the lion remains alert yet peaceful. This depiction conveys the lion acting as a guardian, watching over a given space  with quiet strength while remaining poised and ready to keep the negative vibes away from the premises when necessary.

The following includes a selection of sitting lion statues you could use to adorn the home or business entrances.
