My knowledge of art history is woefully inadequate. Is that a prehistoric Gamma Rabbit from the Middle east or Sourtheast Asia?
I suspect that is actually the Monster Under The Bed.
Fascinating. Is this recent art or ancient?
It makes me strongly think of Durga Sin. So it might be a representation of an aspect of Kali. My Indian iconography is not strong enough for that to be more than a feeling though.
I too am wondering what exactly that is, and from what region and era.
It reminds me of the idol dug up in “The Exorcist”
