    Hi everyone - I bought the below Buddha which I was told is from the 20s (haven't picked it up yet...), and the odd thing about it is that it has two ushnishas (cranial bump or bun symbolizing the extended wisdom of the Buddha), on its' head, and it's not something I've seen before nor am I able to find any references online. Only ever seen the one.... Buddha 1.jpg Buddha 2.jpg Buddha 3.jpg

    Has anyone seen this before?

    What is he supposed to be made of?

    He's apparently made of bronze though I have yet to pick him up.

    That's fantastic, @2manybooks, thanks for sharing. Haven't found much about your buddha but I'll dig in and see what comes up - will assume mine is a copy.

    It's a moder reproduction, maybe painted brass, surely painted material
