    Thanks, I guess not lions then but cows :)
    Do you think it’s a man made or natural material?

    Looks like it is carved sandstone.

    I think they are probably cast items, but I'm not familiar with the stamp.

    Yes, I agree, manatee and calf. The stones could either be carved or molded from reconstituted stone to give the effect of carved sandstone, without the effort and allows to mass production items.
