    It looks to me like solid silver but could not find any marks?
    Any suggestions on the origin?

    Thanks

    GaleriaGila Hola, y'all!

    What the HECK?
    It has a tail with a pouf at the end, scales/feathers on shoulders, pointy ears, bug eyes, five-digit hands/feet...
    Some kind of mythical critter?

    OOOOOOOOH, they are so adorable. Just Googled. They like to have their armpits scratched, and hold their little arms up to beg for it!

    Thanks for the suggestions.
    I'd think that it may have some kind of mythological features.
    What do you think of the origin? Asian, South American?
