Message The bronze is probably a bodhisattava, possibly Avalokitesvara (the Chinese Kuan Yin) who is often represented holding a wish fulfilling jewel in many of his numerious forms. The bronze looks late Ming/early Qing in style to me, it looks genuine enough with all the flaking red laquer which I've yet to see on a modern Chinese fake. I've attached a pic of similar Ming bronze. The face on yours is a little different though, perhaps a slight Tibetan influence. Mike
