 It looks more like a Lion to me; see the paws extended ? Very Dutch whiskers though .

			Probably. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	But it seems that many if not most motifs in use in Javanese --- and we can read this to include Madura --- ornamental decoration are the result of some sort of influence:- Hindu, Chinese, Islamic, European. It could well be an interesting exercise to identify the indigenous motifs.  |
