This figure looks suspicious. The consecration plate on the bottom is almost universally engraved with a double vajra. Also, when you pick up the piece, looks where your fingers naturally grab the statue. There should be significant wear where your fingers naturally would come into contact with the piece. It also does not have a the typical base of Sino Tibetan gilt bronzes.
