This image shows a small sculptural object that appears to be a mythical creature, possibly functioning as a candleholder, incense holder, or ceremonial vessel. The creature has a blend of characteristics from various animals and is likely inspired by Asian or Mesoamerican mythology. Here's a detailed description:
Form: The creature has a stout, turtle-like body with scaled or armored texture on the shell.
Head: The head resembles a dragon or lion, with an open mouth and carved, expressive features suggesting strength or guardianship.
Tail: It curves upward in a stylized manner, balancing the composition.
Top: The creature carries a shallow bowl or dish on its back or head, indicating a functional or ritual use.
Stylistic influences: The geometric patterns on the body and the exaggerated features suggest a folk or ceremonial art tradition, possibly drawing from Chinese, Thai, or Mayan motifs.
Overall, this object appears to be both decorative and symbolic, likely representing protection, power, or wisdom.
