Position these guardians on your door to prevent people of evil intentions from entering the house and to ward off “shar chi” (killing energy). They are best to guard the main entrance of your home or office and protect the whole family from being harmed. They are crafted from heavy brass which makes it strong enough to terminate any evil or yin energies. It is normally installed as one piece on one sided door or in pairs for two sided doors to protect the entire family from accidents, robbery and any other forms of bad luck. The lion is frequently used to represent strength and protection, two important components for most homes. The lion head famous in countries like Hong Kong and Taiwan is a powerful symbol that can provide potent protection against harmful people, nourishes chi that enters homes, dissolves bad energy and bring in happy blessings when fixed to the door of your house or office.
