Finial with a Makara Disgorging a Lion

Finial with a Makara Disgorging a Lion by an unknown artist. The object is a curved, ornamental piece with a dark color. The left end is wider and more rounded with intricate swirling designs. A long, curved section with similar designs tapers to the right. The right end features a makara, a mythical sea creature with a snout, mouth, and fins. The makara's mouth is open, and a lion emerges from it, facing left. The lion has a detailed mane and facial features. The object appears to be made of metal, possibly bronze or stone, and has a rough texture. It is mounted on a thin, cylindrical stand. The background is a gradient from dark to light gray.
