My first thought is Siam or now called Thailand. Or maybe Nepalese?

i would say the figure looks to be of a hindu or tibetian religious type (temple guardian type look)

Hindi probably. Temple banner as stated above.

It is definitely a neat looking piece but with my luck it would probably just translate into something like "smoking in designated areas only". Good luck getting it figured out. :thumbsup:

The language is Tibetan it is a Tibetan prayer flag. That is the Tibetan deity "Mahakala".
