Description from the seller

Traditionally the male specimen (with the ball under the paw) is placed on the right and the female (with the cub) on the left, viewed from the building
The ball symbolizes the world or power, the cub represents protection of offspring
They are often used in pairs to keep negative energy out
The set is in good used condition with signs of aging. (See photos)
