Mistaken Origin of the Lion Statue
To start off, from where did this Lion Statue actually pop up? This statue was inherited by a lady from her grandparents. But she was unaware of the value it possessed or the significance of its origin.
It is only when a friend came across the statue at her place and took a wild guess that it might have some value and could even have a Chinese descent, from the Ming Dynasty. The owner had initially refused to believe in this and was hardly convinced about its origin.
