    Does anyone know where this image comes from, or what it was used for?

    There's a story being alluded to here, but what is it?

    It's about 15" x 15" (37cm x 37cm) and I think it's on aluminum.

    Thank you as always!

    I think it's pretty modern...but very attractive nonetheless. Are the creatures Dog & Frog...? I've never seen a frog with a tail, except as tadpole.

    I think it's two lions, and the perspective on the bottom one is from kinda above and behind.

    Looks Chinese to me, with Foo lions and a tai chi or martial arts practitioner.
    A comet and an atom, maybe something to do with Chinese nuclear science (weapons?) or space travel?

    This is a China lion dance with some 60s propaganda technological elements - rocket, atom, electricity pylon.
