Title: Can anybody date this please? Bronze Buddha Head
Post by: steviejoe75 on March 31, 2016, 01:42:35 AM

Hi everyone

I have what looks to be a bronze buddha walking cane head.

Picked it up at a local market for £2, and i am wondering if anyone could possibly date it from the pictures?

It is quite heavy and is about 7" in height.

Any help would be appreciated.

It seems to be Chinese, as it has the Chinese sign for "luck" on it. I do not think it is old. Maybe it was attached to something? Maybe a walking cane or an umbrella?

Thanks Mat, it was probably an unwanted prize out of a lucky bag :(
