Bone Tile Animal

Profile picture for user Pope Exploder
By Pope Exploder, 20 July, 2023
Description

It's an animal shaped piece covered in bone tiles, I know absolutely nothing factual about it. The person who ran the estate sale I got it from called it an antique Chinese dog planter, I don't believe any of those things except maybe "planter"

Ideally I would like to know:
- When it was made
- Where it was made
- What kind of animal it's supposed to be
- If there are other things like it (I've seen bone tile animals elsewhere but except for one bone tile parrot they're usually much less stylized than this thing)
- If I got played for a fool at the estate sale auction I got it from
