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.
