Dear Ann,

Your Buddha figure is made of gilded bronze in Thailand in 19th century. Its a lovely antique buddha. The period it is made in Thailand is called Rattanakosin ( 1782–1932 ) . Buddha's from this period are called therefor Rattanakosin Buddha's. These antique buddha's are sought after in the Asian antique market and have a fair value nowadays. If your buddha came to auction I would expect it to fetch an price around the estimate I gave above,
