Hello Patrick,
Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. The item presented appears to be sculpture depicting Burmese standing Buddha, likely Shan in style. These objects are usually bronze or gilt wood. As you mentioned yours is plaster, it is very likely this example is a mid-century reproduction. This particular depicting of the standing Buddha was very popular during the mid-late 18th century up to the early 20th century.
The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of mid 20th century reproduction sculptures of Burmese standing Buddha. If your figure is not plaster, please let me know as the estimate may be effected. Please note that the estimate is contingent a full condition report. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
Hello Patrick,
Thank you for the update. It would appear your object is a gilt wood sculpture. I have updated the fair market value estimate to reflect material. Thank you.
On closer inspection the sculpture is made of wood. The gold like coating has an undercoat of white powdery material. There are a couple of cracks, particularly on the side and rear of the item.
