Another long shot hoping someone may know by the pictures when, where & type of stone. Carving is of a Yokia split tail cat, Japanese folklore.
My research has found the following: "One particularly monstrous breed of bakeneko is the two-tailed variety known as nekomata.
However, only the oldest, largest cats with the longest tails—and thus the most intelligence—become this powerful variety. When a nekomata
transforms into a yōkai, its tail splits down the center into two identical tails."
All thoughts & opinions on this carving are welcome. Thanks to all ......
