負傷的銅獅

 
「不是吳冠中在文章裡提到，我並不知道那對銅獅是國立杭州藝專的外籍教授魏達所作，遠在一九三五年，林風眠當校長的時代。果然，W.W. Wagstaff 的簽名，深深刻在銅座上。」

Stephen and Stitt, the bronze lions, are named after two managers of the bank. They received shrapnel (砲彈碎片) damage, still clearly visible, during World War II. They have only been moved twice: once to Japan during the occupation, where they luckily avoided being melted down for armaments (軍備), and then over the road to Status Square while the new headquarters was being built.
