Born in the Western portion of India in the state of Gujarat, this exquisite hand carved architectural sculpture features a mythological guardian lion. Charming us with the refinement of its treatment, scrolled effects and nicely weathered appearance, the lion is carved at an angle and is raised on his hind legs, the right paw resting on a raised scrolled element while his left paw is lifted up along his body. Believed to have protective mythic benefits, this guardian lion is sticking his tongue out. Highly decorative, this Indian architectural carving from Gujarat, unfinished in the back, will enliven any wall beautifully. See less
