<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JoshA, post: 367696, member: 7686&quot;]I don’t want to influence anyone’s ideas if I’m wrong and I’m going down an endless rabbit hole of research, but some of the things that have crossed my mind so far:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. The teeth are super pronounced in the mouth, more than I’ve seen on a lot of dragon figures I’ve looked at. Except the Indonesian or Balinese dragon masks that I looked at.</p><p>2. The markings below the geometric rim pattern appear to be some sort of script. I thought Arabic at first, but it also looks mildly like some of the Balinese writing I’ve seen, maybe others I haven’t considered?</p><p>3. I was thinking it was some sort of cast iron because of the line that appears to bisect the bowl on both sides and also each foot. But I don’t know if red rust or green oxidation would occur on cast iron or if it’s some other kind of metal.</p><p>4. Lastly, if it were cast iron, maybe that could help me figure out how old it could possibly be. I can’t find when cast iron was first appearing in Asia. My insistence on it being Asian is because of my assumption that it’s a dragon, so I could be way off... </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again for any help![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
