    I don't know what this is. It almost looked as if it was a carved soft stone. It had a sandy surface to it. There was only felt on the bottom.

    It was about 9 inches high.

    Do you think it was a one-off original? Any online references?

    It also says it is a Buddha, which it isn't. It is based on a (German?) Modernist sculpture, but given a Balinese costume and headscarf.

    I think now it does not let me edit the original to correct the image display. I am trying.
