Lacquer Box with Fantastical Creature Handmade in Kashmir, India art pottery vase sometimes artistic weavings can feel

sometimes artistic weavings can feel a bit too 1970s and/or recent hipster to me

I am not sure the maker of this pair as I have not found their exact match

With great lines and a gold rim too

Lacquer Box with Fantastical Creature Handmade in Kashmir, India art pottery vase sometimes artistic weavings can feelWho is this marvelous fantastical beast that lives on the top of this vintage lacquer box? He looks a bit like a dog with antlers and a head dress, but his face seems positively human, and he has what looks rather like a tiny hand and wrist for a nose! Whatever he is, he's about the best creature I've seen, and is set off perfectly against a bold yellow ground, with additional colorful abstract forms, again rather mysterious, on all sides of the box.
