This is a fantastic gilded Sino Tibetan Buddha. I've had a number of this type through the years, and this is without a doubt the best I've owned. The sculpting, casting, and gilding are superb. The entire piece is gilded, and then another layer of a delicate silvery gilding was applied over the gold to emulate the Buddha's skin. It is a very good size at 7 and 3/8ths inches high by over 4 and 1/2 inches wide. It is quite heavy for it's size. It is in excellent condition, with no losses or repairs. There is typical rubbing to the gilding
