<p>[QUOTE=&quot;J Dagger, post: 4296752, member: 10944&quot;]Thanks so much for the answer and being excited by it. That would certainly explain why my Buddhism rabbit hole wasn’t taking me to it. Specifically I was thinking Thai. Had it all wrong. I knew I recognized the face from somewhere and it’s probably from the very puppets you posted. I’ve seen a handful of those puppets. I was excited when I found it and I hoped it was real obviously. The photos looked convincing and the seller had some legit nice stuff. Now that I have it in hand I’m not sure. Something seems off about the patina although I can’t pinpoint it exactly. I have a couple of repro archaic Chinese vases with applied patina and it reminds me of those. The big thing though is the inside of the head is super clean. If it were real and from a broken statue I’d expect it to look like it had been around a long time in there. However it’s spotless. So going on that I was leaning towards in being a reproduction. I definitely hope I’m wrong! Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
