Dear John,
It is a visvajra(or double vajra),a buddhist symbol,not a mark that could date a piece.it is also found on recent pieces.Your buddha doesn't seemms very old,but I could tell more with better photos.
Best regards,
Rémy

Possibly a butterfly, symbol of reincarnation to Buddhists. Not sure what it means regarding age or maker of the image.
