A temple figure in the form of a Singha Lion with wings and a lotus flower motif at the front base. There is a slot in the back that may have once held a tail. It is likely this piece comes from the rural highlands area of Bali, possibly from Sebatu-Taro. Vigorous and more stylized, their imagery is a combination of Hindu characters and a more tribal aesthetic rooted in traditions dating back to pre-Hinduism.
