Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On September 21, 2015, the Ningbo Municipal Government donated two stone Chinese lions to the University of Nottingham. The two stone lions, a male with his paw on a ball representing supremacy over the world and a female holding her cub representing nurture, were placed opposite one another on plinths in front of Highfields Lake on the University of Nottingham’s University Park campus, with the University of Nottingham’s Trent building framed in the background. Each statue is two metres tall and 3.5 tonnes in weight. The donation was made in honor of the tenth anniversary of the sister city relationship between the City of Ningbo and the City of Nottingham.
