Hi all,

One of my friends found a statue of a Goddess while digging for some construction purpose in some remote area here. Upon enquiring we came to know that it is a statue of some Hindu Goddess relates to the Hindu Shahi period of 6th/7th century. Other details are as follows:

2 inches wide by 3 inches tall
Looks like a statue of Goddess Durga or Goddess Laxmi
Sitting in Samadhi (meditation)
Having 4 hands
In two of her hands holding mace or other traditional weapon of olden times
Seated on the lion
Snake folded over her neck
Metal based on copper

Can you tell what should be the value of this statue? Where to find buyers for that particular historical statue?
