About the Item

An Indian carved teak wood guardian lion sculpture from the mid-18th century, with traces of original paint. Handcrafted in India during the 1740s-1760s in order to take place in a monument, this teak architectural carving features a guardian lion, his teeth resting on a man's head. The sculpture shows traces of its original paint, while carving technique presents a great attention to details. The flat top suggests this was used as a column base, perhaps in a temple. With its expressive character and original paint, this Indian mid 18th century carved lion figure will be an excellent decorative addition for any home, perhaps placed in a living room or foyer.

Crafted in the Western portion of India in the state of Gujarat, this exquisite early 20th-century hand-carved temple sculpture captivates with its depiction of a woman and her feline companion.

Thai 1900s Reclining Guardian Lion Carved Prayer Box with Polychrome Décor

Located in Yonkers, NY

A Thai wooden polychrome prayer box from the early 20th century depicting a reclining guardian lion with his tongue sticking out. Created in Thailand during the early years of the 20th century, this highly decorative object is in fact a prayer box. Opening in its upper section to reveal an oval, roughly carved interior, the box depicts a guardian lion whose striking features and expression are meant to ward off negative influences. His reclining position demonstrates that he is ready to pounce. Best to be seen from the sides, the lion opens his mouth to reveal sharp teeth through which his tongue is sticking out. The latter is removable. His body is adorned with incised scrolling accents and hand painted with green, yellow, red, pink and white motifs. The tail is missing. The other side shows a décor a little more faint. With its highly decorative presence and polychrome finish, this Thai guardian...
