Mrs Mary Anna Marten OBE (1929-2010), Crichel House, Dorset.Exhibited: The International Exhibition of Chinese Art, The Royal Academy of Arts, London, 1935/6, catalogue no.2821. Illustrated: S C Nott, Chinese Jade Throughout the Ages, Pl.LXIII. Catalogue note: The lion was first introduced into China from India, following the arrival of Buddhism, and is not represented in jade carvings earlier than the Han Dynasty. The lion is the king of beasts and is associated with high rank and military power. Most Buddhist temples in China have two lion dogs, carved in stone or cast in bronze or iron as guardian figures at the entrances. These figures are either depicted with both front legs on the ground, or with one foot raised on a ball and puppy; whereas with most jade examples, the lion is crouching, cf. J C S Lin, The Immortal Stone, Chinese jades from the Neolithic period to the twentieth century, p.52. Chinese lions resemble Pekingese dogs, and are known as ‘Lion Dogs’, and are often portrayed with brocade balls. According to tradition, Buddha was born ten times as a lion, six as an elephant and once as a hare.
