Can anyone identify this carved wood guardian lion figure or advise as to what region it may be from or estimate its age? The seller had no idea of the history of the item. After much research, the closest examples I can find stylistically are early snow lion figures from Nepal.It is made from a very heavy dark wood and shows signs of wear and age. The carving is fairly small, measuring at about 3" by 4". Thank you.
