Pair of Embroidered Lion Children's Slippers

This charming pair of petite children's shoes are lovingly hand-sewn of silk and cotton, embroidered to look like little lions. Powerful yet benevolent, the lion is considered the "king of beasts" and would have been the ideal protector to watch over the young child who once wore these shoes. A visual pun for "together in harmony," children's shoes such as this make a wonderful gift and evoke the saying "may husband and wife grow old together" (tongxie daolao).
