Who or what is this?

It's  a print of some king of creature. Seems to have some age on it and an Asian stamp on back.

Hard to say from the picture.  Hopefully someone else can pipe in on this.

It looks Japanese to me. Like a statue from a temple

[cogar]

Looks to me like …… "The Creature from the Black Lagoon”, to wit:



But if that is a Japanese “mark”, who knows what it is, with all their “Godzilla” movies, etc.

Cogar, that is exactly what my mind was trying to remember!!!!  LOLOL 

It looks like a photo of a statue!

[mart]

Me too KC !!  Couldn`t remember where I saw that creature back in the 50`s or 60`s !!

  It does look like The Creature, but I think Skinny is right: Some type of Japanese demon.

Mat may know what it is !!  I would PM him and get him to take a look  !!

He's  a handsome little devil. Lol  I  think  the Japanese  demon may be the right track.

Either Mat is right or,,this guy has a twin brother !!  I knew you would know, Mat !! 

[icedgold10]

Wow! Mat, you are amazing. That's my guy. What do you think this print came from? I thought it was just a strange find in a thrift  store, but to interesting looking to not get.

[mart]

How large is this print ??  May be a temple souvenir !!

The print area is 8 x 10. Wished I could  read the stamp to find artist and age.
