Powerful and rare Nepalese bronze lion — a guardian of ancient rituals.
Handcrafted in the mid-20th century, this impressive 26 cm tall temple lion represents the Tibetan Snow Lion (Sengge), protector of Buddha and the Dharma.
Made entirely of bronze, with natural black patina and finely detailed armor, scales, and ornaments, this sculpture once stood watch on a Buddhist altar — symbolizing fearlessness, joy, loyalty, and spiritual strength.
Its open mouth and hollow body suggest it may have been used as a ritual incense or ash vessel.
Whether as a collector's piece or a sacred guardian in your home, this lion brings strong energy and meaning.
