Bronze and porcelain Buddha on a water buffalo statue

By mthood2, 28 July, 2011
Description

     I got this statue of Buddha sitting on a water buffalo from a garage sale for one dollar. The Buddha is made of bronze and so is the water buffalo and there is also some babies on it that are also bronze. Some of the decorations such as the saddle I assume are painted porcelain. The paint is very slightly cracked and some of the porcelain parts are chipped. It has trouble standing up on its own which leads me to believe it was either not made right or was on a stand at one point.

There is markings on the butt of the buffalo(picture 3) and there is another symbol on the buddhas leg(picture 2).
