These guardian lions are inspired by the traditional statues that flank the doors and gates to palaces, temples and noble houses in various oriental countries. Lladró has dressed these creatures in profusely ornamented armor. Normally guardian lions did not wear armor but Lladró included the breastplates to reinforce the protective mission of the lions, adding to their fierce appearance. The green enamels used to decorated these lions underlines the connection with Oriental culture.
