<upd_detl>Wiktionary says "karajishi" is an English word now.  Didn't add the gloss though.

Reversed the readings. MacOS IME supports only じし,　sankoku gives only じし, wikipedia articles seem to use じし, furigana.info is 15-to-5 in favor of this reading.
 
As for the xref, it seems clear that 獅子 can mean 唐獅子, so maybe the reverse xref is more necessary. I think the entry in 獅子[2] is perhaps overly specific (or that a third, more general "mythical Chinese lion" sense may be warranted). Or we can just let the xrefs do the heavy lifting. It seems that *some* shinto 獅子 are 唐獅子, but that 唐獅子 does not generally indicate a statue. 

Google the English "karashishi" or "karajishi".  Lots of English-language treatments of this term which literally translates to Chinese (唐) + Chinese Lion(獅子).  Examples are bountiful. Usually appears simply as "Chinese lion", but this would be ambiguous without context. 

Obviously all representations are artistic. "Chinese lions" are mythical.  Nothing about "portrait" baked into 唐獅子 though.</upd_detl>

Guardian Animal: Karashishi (wooden statue/carving)
唐獅子
1300s
Placed at the entrance to shrines and temples in Japan, guardian figures ward off evil spirits. These guardians used to be painted red and white and are distinguishable by their facial expressions: the open-mouthed animal is a karashishi, or “Chinese lion,” while the close-mouthed beast, which once had a single horn protruding from its head, is called a komainu, or “Korean dog.” 

Plenty of "Chinese Lion" here.
