I have a question

The stone is an attractive coral hue with some grey mottling and a soft lustrous polish. The underside of the base with unusual all-over scroll carving. The crouching buddhistic lion to one side of the figure with an area of stone missing or chipped. It is possible this is a natural inclusion in the stone.
