Antique Buddah

I don't know to much about the history as I was young when my great aunt had this item. My great-grandmother passed it down to me. She once told me that it was lucky and it helped her win several horse races she played. I dont know much about horse racing, but I know that it has been in my family for more than 30 years. This buddah has never loss color, it looks the same as when I was a child
