I found those two objects interesting but at. aloss of what they are. can you please help?

Hi,

These are Buddhist statues.

Unfortunately, the image quality isn't good enough to supply much information. The first and third look as if they could be bronze and I wouldn't like to say about the one in the middle.

These statues are very common. The big question is: are they old or modern repros? Some of the modern fakes are so well done even experts struggle to tell them apart. Unfortunately, the quality of these pictures makes it difficult to say.

The text on the images is odd. Did you take a screenshot of a TV show?

Regards,

The first one looks tibetan. That's Buddha touching the ground in Bhumisparsha Mudra hand gesture/pose.

The second one looks chinese, and represents the deity from Chan Buddhism known in China as Putai/Budai and in Japan as Hotei.

Cheers,

MB

Thank you
