[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 9439804, member: 84"]I found this today while treasure hunting at my regular thrift store - I was lucky because it was sitting on a lower shelf & no one had seen it yet! Any ideas on it? It looks like it was cut off of something at the neck (look at 2nd to last photo) - and the top conical part looks like it was welded on to the head (6th photo below the criss cross band). Is this a Buddha/god? I wasn't sure because of the pointed pieces all around it. Is the top part a hat or it's hair done up? Is it bronze? Any idea how old it is? ANY information or thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated; I'm thinking/hoping I found something special (or since it was cut off at the neck, 'part' of something special)? Thank you!
