This regal emerald carving is in honor of The King of the Jungle, the Lion. Its common traits are: majesty, strength, courage, justice, and military. It can be both solar and lunar. Commonly referred to as "the King of the beasts," it is a symbol of Kingly power and might.

The tribe of Judah is traditionally symbolized by the Lion. Jesus was called the Lion of Judah who has triumphed.

A long, long time ago, the lion rather than the tiger was a Chinese zodiac sign. However, the lion was too ferocious and notorious, so the Jade Emperor in charge of Chinese Zodiac wanted to remove the lion from the list and he had to choose another animal to replace the lion.
