Protective Statues: Protecting Your Home Through the Ages
-
"Made of stone or bronze, they watch tirelessly, silent guardians of our homes."
-
Origin and History
Since ancient times, mythology has been replete with examples of protective statues erected to ward off negative forces. In ancient Egypt , sphinxes and representations of Anubis guarded temples and tombs. In Greece , stone lions stood at city gates to symbolize power and vigilance. In Asia, the famous Chinese guardian lions—called Shi or Foo Dogs —protected imperial palaces. These figures, steeped in history and legend , have survived through the centuries as universal symbols of protection.
Evolution and Symbolism
While their role was once primarily spiritual or religious, protective statues have now found their place in our homes as pieces of mythological decoration . They embody strong values: harmony , balance , power , and protection . In feng shui , placing a guardian lion or dragon near the entrance promotes positive energy. Nordic statues, meanwhile, recall the bravery of the ancient Viking peoples, while Indian deities like Ganesh invite wisdom and abundance.
