Pair of Chinese Lions

Two concrete Chinese lion statues facing outward from the building towards the street. There is a lion statue on either side of the driveway towards the building. Each lion statue rests their forward legs on a spherical cage which holds a large, free-moving concrete ball inside. Within the mouth of each lion statue there is a large, free-moving concrete ball. Facing the statues from the street, the left one is female & the right one is male. There are swirling patterns on the lion statues’ legs, beards, & manes. The lions’ tails bend back towards the body & connect as a means of support.
