Hello Alexis,

Quote:

The reason why I originally thought that the motif could possibly be a singa barong, is that it may resemble one when viewed at a certain angle.

If you allow for lots of Chinese foo dog influence...

IMHO clearly a naga though. Another variant to add to your list on the other thread!

Regards,
Kai
