Can't pinpoint the exact

Right material, wrong object, wrong country and wrong species of animal.

It is indeed.

is it a cheetah with non retractable claws?

Eichhörnchen · 10-09-14, 01:01 AM

It seems oddly familiar. It's really not massive-looking enough, but is it part of an Indian "Lion Capital"?

Jimbuna · 10-09-14, 05:21 AM

An elephants foot?

Not a Cheetah, and the claws do retract.

It's not.

Nope.

Ok, another clue is required I think, and a slight alteration. I said 19th century earlier, however more recent information that has come to light indicates that it was actually acquired in 1799 and it was likely made sometime between then and 1792.
This should help you chaps a fair bit.

That's what YOU think, Oberon. What WE actually need is three more legs on this thing and a head. Then we might start to get somewhere...

Jimbuna · 10-09-14, 06:32 AM

A chola bronze indian statue?

Eichhörnchen · 10-09-14, 07:00 AM

Is it a cast statue of a baboon, or maybe a monkey?

Wrong era, also, not a statue.

Nope, no monkeying around here.

Jimbuna · 10-09-14, 07:19 AM

If not a statue then part of a building, such as an entrance?

Eichhörnchen · 10-09-14, 07:38 AM

Is it the claw-foot of a table leg?

Negatory.

Well, Google's useless

Eichhörnchen · 10-09-14, 08:28 AM

Looking back, you described it as a paw of sorts, and said that you didn't think it was a lion, which suggests you don't have a complete animal here...

Does this object sit on the floor or on a desk?

Aktungbby · 10-09-14, 09:50 AM

is it on display in a museum?
