Plaster (I think). 37.5" tall
Belonged to my uncle. Believe he purchased it in the 70s, but not sure.
Dear Paul,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry and I wish you a Happy New Year 2022. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a statue with the measurements of 37.5 inches in height. This statue depicts Buddha as a young man in Chinese inspired costume. It appears that this statue was made out of a cast plaster mass and colored in black and gold. It was made in the second half of the 20th century like a room decoration.
Similar objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 50 to 100 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
George
