This Lucky Lion collected by the Forbidden City exhibits an auspicious sign as well as stateliness. It stands on the auspicious cloud, like the lucky beast coming from the heaven. The festival atmosphere is particularly enhanced by its natural red coral color.

The Lucky Lion was a treasure of imperial palace in both Ming and Qing Dynasties and was appreciated by many emperors. At the present it is collected by the Palace Museum. This is a replica.
