Is it an incense burner?
Looks like one....

I don't think it's incent burner there really is no place to put one incense
This one looks like it is Nepalese or Tibetan...just glancing at Tibetan written symbols, there is closer similarity with Tibetan symbols. Maybe you can decipher.
Donnymurphy i may have the other one to your foo dog it is of the same quality. one male one female, looks like the same size same maker.
The qilin or Chinese unicorn is a mythical beast that symbolizes good luck and prosperity. According to tradition in China, Korea, and Japan, a qilin would appear to signal the birth or death of a particularly benevolent ruler or sage scholar.
