Miniature Lion



This little lion is a miniature version of the lion used for Lion Dance performance. Lion Dance performance is commonly seen during Chinese New Year. The performers would be invited to perform at one's house and angpow (red packet containing money) would be offered to the lion as a gesture of appreciation. It is also considered auspicious to invite the Lion Dance performers to one's house during Chinese New Year.
I have posted photos of Lion Dance performance during last year's Chinese New Year. You can view them here:

"Use your first smile, your first form of generosity, of love, of kindness—use it at home; start at home. And if there is something left over—if … your plate is just full of abundance of patience and goodness and smiles and joy, then by all means, you should go … and offer that to others. But we must begin at home." by Dr Robin Smith
