    Does anyone have a clue what this? Ancient vessel, reproduction or just a cool garden vase? I am clueless. By the shape I am leaning towards Asian.

    Chameleons are not native to N or S America so if its old and they are chameleons that's a clue.

    I purchased a brass vase with salamanders and it is from Korea. Could yours be from Asia?

    I have no clue. I looked at some lizard pics... It also looks kind of a like a basilisk lizard. Those are in South America.

    Also think Mexico. Saw similar in the import stores and at roadside stands in the Southwest in the 80s-90s.

    Looks like a brown anole lizard. I also agree with Mexico.
