Greetings,

whilst this item is not exactly related to kerises I thought maybe this is the most appropriate place to put this thread(?) as it is kinda related (at least in my own mind) anyhow :shrug:
Please let me explain.
I would like to display a keris in my study room. I have thought of placing it onto an appropriate ploncon. Whilst at it I thought I could make some changes to the room itself and though about placing this statue near the keris. - Whilst the tiger might not be the most look up upon animal on the Indonesian archipelago I like the statue, so...
I dont know the origins of this statue but I do know that it is at least a few decades old and most probably from somewhere Asia. - A broad description, yes, but unfortunately the best I can give. It is made of bronze; the size is apr. 100cm x 50cm x 30cm and unfortunately there are no markings whatsoever to be found anywhere.

As many of you are on the know about Asian art and craft I would kindly ask you to give your opinion on the origin and age of this statue. I dont have a clue but would like to know more. I´ve never seen anything like it before.
