Traditionally, Lions have been popular as representative sentinels. Their fierceness, strength, and regal grace led people in times past to regard them as a symbol of royalty and guardianship. The Lion Gate at Mycenae (1300 BC), the parade of lions on the walls of Babylon (6th Cent. BC), and Emperor Asoka's lion columns in India (240 BC) are early examples. As contemporary statuary, they continue to be firm, brave, stalwart and quietly reliant.
