Subject:Help identifying Buddha statue
Posted By: Argentina Mon, Aug 09, 2021 IP: 2600:1700:f2f0:7ef0:

HELLO! A while ago I acquired a Wooden Buddha statue from the estate sale of a gentleman that had lived extensively in Indonesia. Does anyone have any insights regarding potential origin and age of this piece? It was marked at the sale
As coming from Bali, but stylistically I am not too sure. Any thoughts and guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Some additional photos…also, forgot to mention that the statue is 48 cm tall. There is a small label hand printed in the back - not sure what the language is

The isnscription on the label seems to be Chinese.
In fragments the followings can be read from it surely,
囗小囗佛 - 囗 small囗 Buddha
In SE Asian countries incl. Indonesia the majority of antique shops are run by Chinese. Therefore Chinese markings are not unusual in these countries.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Thanks for that! How old would you say this is though? I’ve been told from late 19th to late 20th century…I am also uncertain about origin….I have tons of questions and no answers, sorry! Any guidance for Further research would be appreciated !
