The legendary Stone Lions

Stone Lions

Stone lions are frequently placed at the gates of temples, or the doors of houses, for scaring away demons.

The lions are always in pairs, a male and a female. The male has a small ball under his paw, while the female has a cub to which she feeds milk through her paw.
