They represent the "Dog of Fo," a mythical beast that was half lion and half dog. The figures first appeared in Han China in the late third century BCE, probably developing from Indian depictions of the lion as the protector of dharma. guardian lions (traducció pendent) lleó guardià 2026-03-30 20:28:03
