Shíshī, Chinese mythology stylized art, hand-painted texture. A colossal guardian lion carved from jade stone, body cracked with glowing veins of light. Mane curls like storm clouds, fangs bared in eternal vigilance. Eyes burn with protective fire, claws gripping temple steps. Aura of strength and sacred guardianship, ceremonial presence infused with dread. Painterly stone texture, dramatic shadows, mythic majesty.
