Subject:Small metallic statue of the Buddha
Posted By: Tony W. Mon, Sep 11, 2023 IP: 2607:fb91:a32:40a2:d

Would really appreciate your input on this small (5”) metallic (non-magnetic) statue of the Buddha.
Thanks!
Tony

In my opinion, the patina has tones indicating application by acid wash and dimples in the folds of the robes, both suggesting it likely is a fairly recent casting from a second generation or later mold from the original image.

Best regards,

Bill H.

I concur with Bill H. It appears to be artificially aged.
