Chaps...
The depicted Lion like temple Guardians from Nepal in this picture are often called Chinthe, in both Nepal & Burma. I agree There definatly Leogryphs in English language deduction. That's why the have lions tales. ![]() Heres a great picture showing a liongryph ( of south Indian yali form} and makara figures on frieze at Narttamalai Pallava Cave Temple. from the seventh-eighth centuries.{From the Huntington archive.} That may {or may not.} help your discusian. ![]() Spiral |

Salaams Spiral Thank you for the detail and constructive criticism and references . I will now however quickly prove with pictures the Makara peacock feather tale about its tail. Then I shall make a very brave statement about the Kastane. I hope you can remain with me until then... Regards, Ibrahiim al Balooshi. |
