Its eyes are wide open, its back is straight, and its tail is often curled from its hind legs to its side or draped over its back.
The Cultural Connotation and Symbolic Significance of Stone Lion Statues
As the embodiment of power and majesty, the stone lion is often used as a symbol of royalty, city-state, and military victory, such as the St. Mark’s winged lion in Venice representing the authority of the republic, and the bronze lion in Trafalgar Square in England commemorating naval glory.
In Christian culture, the Marble Lion Statue has a dual symbolism – it symbolizes both the resurrection of Christ (as it is said that the young lion was awakened by the father lion three days after birth) and the threat of the devil (referred to as the “roaring lion” in the Bible). The lion image in ancient Greek mythology, such as the Nemean lion, highlights the heroic spirit of conquest.
