I don’t know. I couldn’t find any others just like yours. My guess is the original owners might have purchased it while traveling. Both Burma (now Myanmar) and Thailand have large reclining Buddha statues, so could be from one of those places, just a guess.

Thanks. I have been searching all over. In my opinion it’s at least 19th century. Just wonder if it’s older.
