[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 11130034, member: 2844"]Charming Chinese Hotei, he looks cast bronze or brass. The patina and wear to the base are antique, mid-late 19th century imo. Asian bronzes are a different alloy (content and percentage) than Western bronzes. I think he is meant to look like this. Just a nice squat little figurine. You could give him one of those Chinese wooden stands.;)[/QUOTE]
