| Reverse description | High-relief antique-finished depiction of a male Chinese guardian lion (shishi) seated in a frontal three-quarter view upon an ornately decorated stone pedestal, its right paw resting upon an embroidered brocade ball. The lion's fierce visage is rendered with intricate detail, featuring a flowing mane of scrolled curls, a decorative collar, and an open snarling mouth. The background depicts the facades of traditional Chinese imperial palace architecture with characteristic upswept eaves, rendered in lower relief on either side of the central figure. A Greek-key meander border frames the inner field. |
