- Antique Thai Singha Wood Carving Lidded Guardian Lion Sculpture – Lanna Style

Striking hand-carved wooden Singha guardian figure, likely originating from Northern Thailand (Lanna region), dating to the early 20th century.

This piece functions as both a sculptural form and a lidded vessel, traditionally associated with temple offerings or spiritual storage. The form is bold and expressive, with an open-mouthed guardian stance, detailed carved teeth, and inset red glass or stone eyes.

The surface retains a rich black lacquer with red accents throughout, highlighting the carved details and adding strong visual contrast. The removable lid fits securely and reveals a hollow interior.

This is a substantial and display-worthy example with real presence.

DISCLAIMER:

 Please note - There are NO RETURNS unless there is a unique circumstance agreed upon between myself the seller, and you the buyer. Between all of my photos, detailed description, and your option to ask questions beforehand, there should be no discrepancy whatsoever in what it is that you are receiving. And I think you will sometimes find my pieces to be even better in person once you receive them! Check my feedback!!

 By bidding/winning an auction, or purchasing a piece BIN, you are committing to buying and accepting this piece as is!! Please do no ruin auctions for others, or take away other potential buyers chances to buy a piece they may want. It's a giant waste of time for everyone involved. So please make sure you are serious when bidding!!

 Can you go back to your local auction house and return pieces for a full refund after bidding everyone else out, winning, paying, and taking the piece home?? Or can you go into your local antique store and demand a full refund after holding onto or using a piece for 30 days?? The same normal everyday rational rules of human engagement apply here!! 

 Treasure hunting for you is how I pay the bills. It takes quite a bit of time to sell each piece from beginning to end; Searching for, procuring it, cleaning it up, researching, photography, all the middle parts you see when you are on eBay looking, then high quality thoughtful packing, shipping, etc.  

I am running a very small honest business, not an Amazon or Walmart. Most of my pieces are vintage or antique, and sometimes have the possibility of showing a little bit of character. I will always do my very best to disclose everything to my full ability.

Ask me anything you want!! I am easy to work with and here for you!!
