    Hi,
    From my mother's attic I found this 7" statue of Buddha, heavy but hollow, we think it's bronze (rings like a bell when you tap it). It's got an extensive greenish copper patina. Could it get this from being exposed to moisture over the years?

    I have seen other really old bronzes, which are uniformly dark brown.

    I suspect it might be made in Asia for sale to tourists - If anyone has seen anything similar before, all information appreciated.

    Cheers!
