Sitting figure with arms crossed
I found this in a antique store in Texas U.S.A. The stones at the bottom change color from white to fire looking in the sunlight. Stones are white without light. The arms are crossed which I can't kind anything that looks like this. On the head it looks like a turbin or something with the point on the head. It looks like a stone fell out of the head part. It looks old, it is silver in color but looks gold in color on back where it is not worn down.

Hello, this item is a small silver pendant depicting a seated Buddhist figure with arms crossed across the chest, cast in relief and suspended above a decorative base fitted with multiple dangling beads. The figure’s posture, pointed headdress, and stylized anatomy are consistent with Southeast Asian Buddhist iconography, particularly Thai or Lao inspired decorative forms produced for the tourist and devotional market in the late 20th century. The metal appears to be silver or silver alloy, with areas of retained gilt or gold toned patina on protected surfaces, suggesting partial gilding or intentional two tone finishing rather than solid gold. The beads at the base, which shift from opaque white to fiery tones in sunlight, are consistent with opaline or glass beads rather than precious stones. The overall construction, casting quality, and mixed materials indicate a decorative religious pendant rather than an antique ritual object.
The pendant appears in good overall condition, with normal surface wear and patina consistent with age and handling, and no visible structural damage. Comparable Southeast Asian silver or silver alloy Buddhist pendants with glass or opaline elements typically sell on the secondary market between $80.00 and $200.00 USD, depending on craftsmanship, metal purity, and aesthetic appeal.
