Profile: The lion symbolizes loyalty, dignity, courage and strength. Talk about a power animal. Wear this piece when you need a boost or want to project a combination of elegance and confidence. Carved on both sides, the focal bead can be worn on the right side or left side (over the heart). The open mouth signifies oration and communication. Leader of the jungle. Roar.

“Here are the ancient lions, their backs polished from five centuries of child-riders. Every full moon, her mother used to say, the lions come to life and pad around the village, peering into windows, sniffing at trees.

Fog drags through the streets and moonlight pours into it like milk. Always, before first light, the lions would creep back to their pedestals and cross their paws and become stone once more. Don’t disbelieve what you can’t see.”

—Memory Wall, “Village 113,” Anthony Doerr
