Shǒuhù Shīzi - 守護獅子 - Guardian Lion Building

4 Tim Slingschröder - 3 years ago

Gedung Singa owes its name to the two yellow lion statues on each side of the impressive front door of the building ('singa' is Indonesian for 'lion'). With its high windows and beautiful wooden decorations above the front door, this building strongly resembles typical Dutch architecture as can be found in cities like The Hague and Amsterdam. Gedung Singa was probably built in the late 1700's, and was the house of some important members of colonial society - including Indonesian National Library founder and German nobleman baron Friedrich von Wumb. As of March 2019, the building isn't open for visitors and is not in use.

(Translated by Google) The Lion Building, that's how the ancient building was commonly known. As the name implies, at the front of the building there are two lion statues. The lion statue that seemed to be guarding the building was gray and in a sitting position. A pair of ornaments shaped like wings adorned the lion's back.

It is not known who made the lion statue. But it is suspected that it functions like a building guard like the Dwarapala in the temple or the Ciok-say lion in the temple. There are also those who say that the winged lion is one of the four wild beasts in the Bible called the Minute Lion. The winged lion is also used as the coat of arms of Venice and a symbol of St. Mark.

Gedung Singa, begitulah bangunan kuno itu biasa dikenal. Sesuai dengan namanya, pada bagian depan bangunan itu terdapat dua  patung singa. Patung singa yang seolah menjadi penjagabangunan itu berwarna abu-abu dan dalam posisi duduk. Sepasang ornamenyang berbentuk seperti sayap menghiasi punggung patung singa itu.

Tidak diketahui siapa pembuat patung singa itu. Tetapi diduga fungsinya  seperti penjaga bangunan seperti halnya Dwarapala di candi  atau singa Ciok-say di kelenteng.Ada juga yang menyebut bahwa singa bersayap merupakan satu dari empat binatang buas dalam Bible yang disebut Minute Lion. Singa bersayap juga digunakan sebagai lambang Venesia dan simbol St Mark.
