Description
This statue appears to be handmade as you can see the craftsmanship through the details, for example, around the collar area that was made with a special tool. Because of the aging of the bronze, I wouldn't be surprised if this piece was from the 1600s-1800s as there is some pitting and surface wear.
You can see from the photos parts of it are hollow, parts are solid. The detail work is very fine. The figure is in a Buddha-like position, but I don't believe it is a Buddha statue but perhaps an Indian deity.
I am looking for a buyer for this piece, though I haven't placed it on a site like eBay or something.
