Featured Help with buddaha pls

Enough to let people think I do.
Just kidding.
I studied theology, which in 'my' university included various faiths. Personal interest did the rest.

 

great,haha..i used to be a buddhist myself in my childhood time

 

Thanks everyone I kinda like the idea he was made with Vitarka mudra on both hands as possible mistake , I carry this buddaha around in my pocket and when I'm Feeling stressed or need to think out comes the buddaha and this brush an off I go , it helps me focas I suppose , so I thought I find some information about him ,it would be rude not too lol

 

Javanese Buddhist, or some Chinese ancestry by any chance?

 

Each hand has a different mudra. Vitarka mudra with one hand, Bhumiparsha mudra with the other.

If it helps you, it is good.

My kind of girl (woman)!

 

chinese ancestry

 

Join the club. Peranakan or pure Chinese?

 

peranakan aka nyonya ware, so you are peranakan too aj?

 

Just a tiny bit, but as Phaik Hooi told me, even a tiny bit means Peranakan. Or maybe she was just roping me into the group of Peranakan members, which basically comprises of her, Shangas, and now you. And a tiny bit of me, I suppose.

I have too many ethnicities in my ancestry to remember, both European and Asian. For centuries everyone in the family seemed to marry someone of a different nationality or ethnicity, and they still do.

 

i thought you were madurese also?that's what globalization about!

 

Madurese too, and yes, we are globalization.

 

Thank you so much everyone ,

Just one last thing ......, how do you know when and how these are made ?
How can u tell the approx decade ECT is it just the colour of rust ? How should the bottom look ? Is it the decoration on statue or robes , or combination of all ?
Sorry that's not 1 thing ,
I'm just curious now

 

it based on experience vicky,you need to see a lot before your eyes get used to the specific date or age,if you really into the antiques,museum or the collections of the antiques collector i think is the good place to learn,
