    Description

    This is an original Antique Silver Foil / Sheet Covered Seated Buddha Figure from Thailand.  This unique late 19th Century piece was purchased in Bangkok by my expatriate father in the early 1970's during the period of his life when he owned an antique shop in Penang, Malaysia.  This Silver Buddha was formed over a hardened clay core and hammered to add the detail of the Buddha Figure.
    Please review pictures closely in regards to the overall condition of this item and refer to the Condition Note. This Buddha has not been polished. Polishing would drastically change the appearance of this figure if you prefer a newer looking less-rustic piece.
    Buddha Dimensions: 3 5/8 inch wide at the base, 6 1/8 inch high with depth of 2 inches.  Weight: 11.1 ounces
    Returns accepted if not completely satisfied.
