Subject:Bronze(?) tiger (leopard or lion)
Posted By: JFB Wed, Jan 25, 2023 IP: 197.248.184.182

I recently purchased this figure.

It measures about 5 inches in length and 2 inches in height. It is heavy (bronze, I think), black (with green oxidation), and white lacquer(?) in etched lines.

Provenance is unknown. I purchased in Pakistan, from an Afghan seller, who said it was found in Afghanistan.

Does anyone have any suggestions about where it might have been made, and when?

James
