Country Group: South and Southeast Asia (Thailand, Burma, Laos, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Vietnam)
Silver/lead alloy Buddha. Has elements of Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand, and is several hundred years old (previous owner believed it to be 16thC). Very heavy for its size. This type of alloy is fragile, so it is rare to still have finial and ears. They need to be treated with care as they have weakened with time, but do not appear to ever have broken or been repaired. Sits 4.25 inches tall, 5 5/8 inches on its custom base.
