Posted By: Bill Jensen Wed, Aug 27, 2014 Dear Michael, I love your statue with inscription. I have been researching my statue and it has MANY similarities with yours, above other examples I have seen. Sway of the body, lotus bud in left hand, double lotus base, facial expression and rendering, etc. What have you done for authentication on it? Please email me at [email protected]. I had a museum geologist tell me mine has limestone concretion, a major appraiser is on the fence but says its not an outright forgery. I am about to run a mass spectrograph on Ca and Mg atoms to prove its pure limestone concretion and no dirt. |

Posted By: peter Fri, Dec 02, 2011 I am sceptical about the inscription. It looks as if it were more recent. If it were that old, it would be darker than the surface. Further, I believe that the character style used in earlier type was different. |
