Hi Maungchung,
I have never seen a T1C lion with such a decorated tail. It might be an extraordinary production. Could you add a photo of the front? The form of the "barbe" can give more information. The circular base is not rare.

Dear Mr Mollat

I thank you very much for your comments.

I attached herewith 3 additional images owned by my friend for viewing.

1. Front view showing the beard similar to T1 C, decorated neck and mark probably a lion on the base.

2. Back view.

3. Side view showing the decorated body.

Any comments are most appreciated.
