Wooden Buddha statue
22 March 2026
Description

I inherited this from a relative who told me it was 1400 years old. The only marking I can find is a tag on the backplate that says “Suleyamuni circa 518 A.D.” it appears to be a heavy wood either painted or lacquered in parts. The lacquer is cracked with several chips missing across the surface of the piece. Quite dusty but I’m hesitant to try dusting it off for fear of further damaging the lacquer.
