Impressive!

Unfortunately, I cannot help you at all. Let's hope somebody can but in case nobody can, then you may want to address the issue to the specialist of an auction house.

Hi Rajesh
I don't think it was made for the tourist market it is showing sign of age and also it has an old rest of custom permission wax seal.
It is not the type of piece you could carry in your luggage!
The previous owner who was Transit Chief for a Belgium airline company in India in the 70-80's and was also a collector of Asian artifact has imported it in the late 80's.
What it is specific on this statue is the sitting position I did not find one in my research with the same position and also with the personage in each side .
I would like to know the signification .
