Dear Jennifer

The picture is too dark and too small.

I saw an antelope's head on the left of the body, the one god that wears antelope skin is Hindu god named Shiva.

I think this statue is Shiva in a form of "Vinadhara" (translated "Veena Player"), the Lord of Music.

It's certainly Thai art, but not authentic. The over all look is of Sukhothai school (AD 1238-1438), but the necklace is of Ayutthaya School(AD 1350 to 1767), and the gesture is of Srivichai school (AD857 - 1457) ??? mix culture is called a re-production.

I have never seen this kind of brown stone, if it is copper work, it never have that big.

I do not exactly under stand your question, you mean that:-

(1) this piece is made of resin and where to buy, just like that?

(2)You took picture from private gallery and ask for a replica made of plastic?

Thanks
Anita Mui
