Dear Kirsten,

Thanks for sending in this item and thanks for your trust in Mearto. You have a Chinese bronze buddha from second half 20th century. Its casted in a mold. The patin is artificial I believe, it means the brown color of old age is done in a chemical way to get the right old age color. Its made for export to western country in USA or Europe. Those Buddhas are nice an people love them so it is possible to sell them in an auction house or on an online platform like Ebay or Catawiki.
