Hello Patrick,
Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. I apologies for the delay and thank you for your patience. The item presetned appears to be a gilt bronze sculpture of a Thai Buddha or bodhisattva figure, seated in a maravijaya pose. There does not appear to be an identifying marks. However, the object appears to date to the 19th century. It could very well date early, but additional evaluations may be required to determine age. The object presented does appear to have some severe conditions that may effect the overall value. Based on previous auction records and estimates of similar objects would range from $800 - 3,000, depending on size and condition. Thank you again for your inquiry and your patience. I hope you have a warm holiday. Stay safe.
