Hand Carved Granite Ram From Hebei Province

This hand-carved granite ram comes from Hebei Province, Northern China, and is a fine example of traditional stone craftsmanship. Inspired by the great sculptural tradition of Chinese guardian animals, this piece captures the strength and serenity of the ram, a figure often associated with protection, creativity, and endurance.

In Chinese culture, the sheep or ram is considered the most feminine of the zodiac signs, linked to artists, designers, and those with a gift for creating beauty. Its enduring stone form makes it not only a striking decorative sculpture but also a symbolic piece filled with cultural meaning. Suitable for use both indoors and in the garden, this ram is guaranteed frost-hardy, a practical reflection of the cold winters of Northern China.
