Country Group: The Himalayas (Tibet, Nepal, Mongolia and Other)
Rare antique Nepalese deity on lion. I believe this figure is most likely 14th/15thC, based on the style of the lion, the face and headdress of the figure, the weight (heavy) of the piece, and the overall look of the piece. I've seen this figure with the distinctive flags in his hair. I have searched for hours, but cannot find a single comp for reference. Please someone remind me and I am happy to include and will be grateful for the information.
