8" Brass Kirin “Struggling Bull” Statues (Pair) – Bullish Wealth Guardians

This pair of 8" brass “struggling bull” statues from the Tibetan Temple Collection brings a dynamic, bullish energy into your home or office. Cast in old brass with Kirin-pattern detailing, each bull is captured mid‑stride, muscles engaged and head lifted, conveying both determination and forward momentum.

The combination of bull and Kirin (Qilin) motifs ties together themes of strength, prosperity, and auspicious protection. Bulls are often associated with resilience, grounded power, and “bullish” confidence—especially in work and financial contexts—while Kirin elements add a layer of blessing and refined mythical symbolism.

Displayed as a pair, these statues can frame a central object on a console or desk, echoing traditional gate guardians but with a contemporary, sculptural feel. They sit naturally within Japandi and wabi‑sabi interiors, where a few strong objects tell the story of a space more effectively than many small ones.
