Each powerful guardian stands dynamically atop a drum-shaped plinth adorned with molded monster-mask ring handles and studded borders. One guardian fiercely controls an intricately carved openwork brocade ball beneath its paw, symbolizing unity and supreme authority, while its counterpart playfully engages with a lively cub scrambling up its chest, representing maternal care and familial continuity. Characterized by expressive muscular forms, curling manes, and flared tails, this matched pair serves as a traditional symbol of protection, prosperity, and auspicious energy for any interior space or collection.
