The Lions (at the base)
In many cultures the lion is the emblem of earthly power, strength, dignity, courage, and royalty. Its golden brown fur made the lion a symbol of the sun.

The lion is a symbol of the proud ruler in the bible:
The tribes of Judah, Gad, and Dan are favorably described as lions because of their strength, courage, and fierceness in battle especially when taking the Promised Land from the Canaanites (Gen 49:9; Deu 33:20; 33:22).
_______________________________
Lions were also an emblem of justice.
Therefore, Solomon's throne had six steps with twelve lions;
one stood on each side of the six steps to represent his justice and the power of the twelve tribes of Israel (1 Ki 10:18-20).
Even during the Middle Ages, stone lions represented justice in the ecclesiastical courts.
_____________________________________
The courage, might, and valor of Israel's strong men including David and his mighty men, Samson, Saul, and Jonathan, were extolled as being lion-like or stronger than lions
(Judg 14:5-9; 1 Sam 17:34-37; 2 Sam 1:23; 17:10; 23:20; 1 Chr 11:22; 12:8).
_________________________________________
In summary, the lion symbolizes
courage, royalty, strength, vigilance, justice, valor, fertility, pride, protection, and conquest.
In the Orient he is believed to protect people from demons.
In alchemy red lions represent sulfur and green lions stand for matter.
