Probably a wartime or immediate post-war
toy from someone like (but not necessarily or actually-) Forest Toys. It could even be home-made; following fret-plans from Hobbies Annual (?), either as a one-off,
or a small-scale commercial venture.
The lion is a laminate of three main
'layers' with a central fret giving the nose and tail and then two carved
blocks attached to either side giving the body and legs, while two further, minor
additions sculpt the lion's outer-mane, either-side - like mines on a mini-sub!
