I recently came across this very interesting piece. I don't have an image of the whole piece, but the horned head sits on a pole; the whole thing is probably 3-4 feet high. I assume it is Asian. The imagarey reminds me of persian paintings, but the script seems more eastern asian (I don't know what language it is - Chinese, Korean, something else?).

I am so curious about this and am fascinating. I have an opportunity to acquire it. Has anyone ever seen anything like it, or have knowledge regarding where it might be from?

Many thanks!
