Hi, Balboos, that avatar (photo by me, manipulated in Photohop) is the ground-level stucco/cement finial of a decorative stairway leading into the Dhamma Hall at Wat Buppharam in Chiang Mai.

Usually these stairway decorations are makara, a chimeric creature, a composite of creatures, often a mix of sea/river-land-air creatures. Usually the creature at the end of the makara will be some form of Naga (water serpent, Thai: phayanaak).

The style of this one does appear to be a Chinese dragon. Here's a photo (not by me) in context: [^]

While the origins of Wat Buppharam date to 1497CE, this decorative sculpture, and the building it connects to, are certainly from the modern era.

cheers, Bill
«When I consider my brief span of life, swallowed up in an eternity before and after, the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, now rather than then.» Blaise Pascal

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
