Four Towers Lion Head Walnuts are celebrated as the benchmark of classic lion head walnuts, renowned for their perfect proportions, powerful presence, and iconic “Chrysanthemum Base.” A true “king” among standard-profile walnuts.
Key Features
• Iconic Chrysanthemum Base (Signature Highlight)
The base is large, flat, and perfectly radiating, with grooves around the navel forming a pattern reminiscent of a blooming chrysanthemum. This feature is the most authoritative identifier of Four Towers walnuts.
• Benchmark Profile
Flat top, squared shoulders, and full, round belly, exuding stability and strength. The proportions are harmonious, creating the classic “heaven round, earth square” visual—ideal for both display and play.
• Flowing Texture & Wide Edges
Deep, continuous “flowing water” grooves cascade along the walnut surface.
Edges are unusually wide and thick, enhancing the walnut’s sense of power and presence.
• Superior Shell Quality
Dense, hard, and finely textured.
Knocking produces a crisp sound.
With play, the shell quickly develops a vivid “ ox-blood red” patina, with strong jade-like transformation.
Play & Handling
Handfeel: Full, substantial, and satisfying. Wide edges and round belly provide comfortable grip and smooth rotation.
Color Development: Fast and stable due to premium shell quality.
Presence & Aura: Balanced, symmetrical, and imposing—ideal for collectors who value both aesthetics and hand presence.

I love them, beautiful shape and so well balanced, perfect weight and size. They come clean and prep for you to start playing and they also sent gloves with them. I also got the vintage box and brushes set, very nice. Highly recommend
It was fast and timeous delivery ai thought i still had to pay customs but came in at no charge from them. And love the feel and testure of the nuts. The brush set also good and came with a glove not sure if it was included with the nuts. Only thing i would include in these sets is a started guide especially the brushing and handling guide. And what brush is what H,M,S. Had to figure out by touch. Would be good to have on the handle.
