Dimensions of Each Lion : 9 inches Height X 3.5 inches Width X 12 inches Length
They advance together, not as mirrored ornaments but as a single force expressed in two bodies. Carved in pale marble, these lions are caught mid-stride, front paws grounded, shoulders lifted, heads held with an unspoken authority. Unlike seated guardians, their stance suggests movement: the decision to step forward rather than merely watch.
What gives them presence is restraint. The faces are composed, almost impassive, yet alertness runs through the form: from the tension in the legs to the steady alignment of the bodies. They do not bare teeth or exaggerate power; instead, strength is conveyed through balance and proportion. The sculptor allows the marble to do the work, letting weight, symmetry, and posture speak where drama is unnecessary.
Seen together, the pair becomes a statement about guardianship itself. Protection here is not aggressive but assured. These lions seem less concerned with threats and more with boundary marking, a threshold that defines a space that must be entered with awareness. Their pairing reinforces this role: vigilance multiplied, responsibility shared.
In marble, time slows. The lions will never complete the step they have begun, yet that suspension is precisely their power. They remain forever in readiness, neither advancing nor retreating: holding their ground with a calm that feels earned rather than imposed.
