<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JohnNL, post: 342113, member: 6438&quot;]As a kid (over 35 years ago!) i bought this wooden ornament of a winged water buffalo (or is it a bull?). One horn was missing, and I made a new one myself and treasured it ever since. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I always kind of intuatively thought it was probably Balinese, and an ornament from a cupboard or something. But never really found any substatiating information. So after all these years i hope some of you can help me really pinpoint its origin and use. </p><p>The association with Bali is probably because it reminds me of the bull coffins they use in cremations. They are not winged however. The measurements are 22 x 13 x 5,5 cm.</p><p>Also curious about the mythological/religious meaning of this creature. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]115243[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]115244[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]115245[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
