This is a silver Buddha, from Cambodia from the 17-19thC. I have not measured the purity of the silver. This style of small silver Buddha was very popular in Cambodia during the 17th and 18th centuries. They often had bases made of bronze or lead. It comes from a collection of small and miniature (mostly) solid silver Buddhas from Southeast Asian Countries, Including Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Burma. The majority Of the collection is Cambodian, due to the tradition of solid cast miniature silver Buddhas in Cambodia during the 17th through 19th centuries, as many were made during this period.
