<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rhiwfield, post: 249435, member: 924&quot;]Amazingly nobody else was interested in this auction lot, which came with a large teak handmade bowl from the 1960s, along with a few small brass items.</p><p><br /></p><p>For me it ticked the right boxes (unusual and makes me learn!) and the lot cost just $7.25!</p><p><br /></p><p>Shown are incense burner with copper and silver inlay, 2 Thai buddhas, Lord Shiva and Circle of Fire but I&#039;m not sure where the buddha (right/back) comes from. It seems to be made in two parts, probably bronze casting of figure, that was once gilded, with a backplate either of bronze or brass. The two parts have been fixed together at the edges with a silvery metal that has been rubbed down to give a smooth finish .</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a Buddhist friend with a house in Thailand and he says that the weight of the Thai buddhas and this other buddha are heavier than he would expect to see in Thailand.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DCLzLE2XoAA9jLZ.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
