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.

The size of these nuts are likely where most of the cost is coming from. At the end of the day, anything over $45 will start to lose its value, as you're usually paying for something collectable, scare, or large.
You definitely can tell they were matched decently well, and cleaned partially before shipping. Only one deeply seeded darkened spot remained, and it was easily cleaned with some picking and brushing. No yellowing or cracking. Overall, after a week or so, I can safely say these were a good choice to grab for the price!
Last to note that the seller responded to my email quickly and pleasantly when I sent a question in - thanks!
