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:
