The Protectors : Lady Yin and Lord Yang Painting

Inspired by Chinese Guardian Lions statues (shíshī). Usually these Lions are made of stone and should always be displayed in pairs. This has to do with harmony and completeness, or to keep balance between the Yin and Yang. This pair which are placed inside or outside a building are meant to protect home or workplace from negative energy. It is said these guardian lions will stop anyone with malicious intensions from entering your home. The female Guardian lion is shown with one paw on a cub. She protects everything inside the home or house. The female is the one who also protects the people who reside or work in the house. She is the Yin.
