Thanks, Margaret,
This is similar to a body of stone sculptures of animals carved from the 16th Century in India, though this doesn't appear to be quite that old.
It may also be contemporary...a lack of history and inscriptions make it very difficult to precisely identify when and where this was made but I've been as complete as possible, with the information provided.
Have a great weekend, and thank you again for using Mearto.
