Hi, I bought this very strange Bronze buddha in the style of a 4-5 AD stone carving. It is Bronze, it seems, but I don't know anything about Patina, it just looked much more authentically old than a lot of the fake bronzes. It also appears to have bronze disease. Any ideas concerning the authenticity of the patina would be very much welcomed.

Hi Thomas, I have a nearly identical piece (however the base is different). Did you get yours TL tested? Also, may I ask how much you paid?

oh... that's not a great sign. I paid round £500.. what are your thoughts on it? I have another buddha that I'm going to get TL tested. This one the seems to have a plaster core rather than porcelain. I will take it in at the same time as the other one and see what they think.. How long have you had yours? how much did you pay. Thanks

I inherited my one from my father, I've been meaning to find out more about it. I was searching on here and found yours. Strange coincidence...

Do let me know if you find out more about yours!

Ah OK, will do
Do you know how long he had it for? or where he got it from?

thanks,
Tom
