Wooden buddha statue my grandma's sister bought from an auction ~50 years ago, somewhere in the southern half of Finland. Made of wood (dont know kind) and little glass stones i think, the headress is wood as well. Skin clearly used to be gold, i dont know if its been painted over or worn off or both. The only thing that looks anything like letters is in the fifth picture. Trouble is that the statue has been affixed to a new stand, the black box, so if theres something written at the bottom its inaccessible as it is.
I don't suspect its worth much as it is in terrible condition, but we are curious how old it is. Sorry if it's not actually an antique since we dont know.
