This is a beautiful vintage Southeast Asian guardian lion statue, intricately hand-carved from a single piece of wood. Depending on the specific region of origin (Thailand or Myanmar), this mythical creature is traditionally known as a Singha or a Chinthe, though it shares the same protective symbolism as a Chinese Foo Dog.
Features:
- Exquisite, deeply detailed chisel work showcasing a stylized mane, open jaw, and flame-like accents.
- Carved from a lightweight, beautifully grained wood (likely monkey pod or teak) with natural dark and light tones.
- Flat, stable bottom showing the authentic hand-carved process.
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition. The high points (tips of the ears and tail) are clean and intact without any blunt damage or significant chips. Please review all high-resolution photos for exact cosmetic condition.
Approximate Dimensions:
5-1/4 inches tall x 4 inches long x 2-3/8 inches wide.
Will be carefully packed and ships quickly from a smoke-free home.
