    ...19th C.(?)

    I know the figure at left is Rangda, not sure who the lapped male figure is. The male figure appears to have once been clutching something in his raised left hand given the small hole, but whatever it was it's now lost.

    Your thoughts, if any?

    Thank you!

    It does appear to have some age to it, but that's all I know about it. Not much help as you already know that. :)

    I have always tried to avoid religions where the gods are uglier than the worshippers.

    Lol!

    Thanks, AF.

    I can't even imagine what this guy done to end up at the bottom with his head being stepped on (if I'm not mistaken, from research, it's the head/corpse of a child. Rangda's favorite dinnertime meal.....eating children).

    Gene Simmons of "KISS" must have idolized Rangda for his lovely tongue.:hilarious:
