Antique Japanese Buddha . ll cast out of a metal I am unfamiliar with, but it is not bronze brass or copper. I believe that both of these were inside shrine boxes for their entire lives up until recently. This is the reason that the applied gold patination is in such good condition. It is emulating gilding, though it is not true gold. I am unfamiliar with this type, but I came across a group of them that all had beautiful faces and really fine detail and I couldn’t resist. It looks to be early 20th century. (6"H x 2.5"W x 1.875"D ) - 235g.
