    Hello everyone.
    Bought this today as a lion figure.......
    White metal, not magnetic, has a really strong metalic smell to it.
    Measures a tiny 2.5cm high.
    Has strange symbols? all over his body as well as writing of some sort around the outside of the base he is sitting on.

    I have tried image searches as well as every combination of words I can think of to describe this!
    Hope someone out there has seen one of these before!!!! Thanks in advance for looking!!
    Judy

      Judy,
      It's a really great piece. I wish I knew something about it. It could be made of spelter. Happy New Year to you!!!
    2. billretirecoll billretirecoll, 8 years ago
      Nice little piece, it sure is interesting, maybe just for fun, like the letters are mixed up, and turned around, so you can wonder about them! :^) Is it pewter?

      Hi Judy!
      Your little tiger is ravishing! Pewter or even perhaps silver!
      It seems to be a Thaï amulet!
