Image description:
The lions are always created in pairs, a manifestation of yin and yang, with the male resting his paw upon the world (a ball, xiu qiu) and the female restraining a playful cub that is on its back. Feng shui placement dictates that the male is on the right, the female on the left as you face the building from outside.
