Dear Gert,
Thank you very much for your response. You are correct! I had never noticed the two small holes on the back of the statue's head. I will try to upload the photo here. There are also hand-tooled, small rectangle holes to either side of the statue on the throne. I have no idea what they were for. Unfortunately I don't have a photo to show the statue from above available. The hand-tooled openings on the back of the throne are rough and there are tool marks at the top of the left opening where the bronze is dented a bit inwards.
Whatever information you can provide would be very much appreciated. My grandmother was bequeathed this item about 65 years ago by her uncle, who purchased it in Asia, 1880-1890, possibly in Thailand. She passed this statue on to me just before she died in 1983. She'd had little interest in it and had very little information about it. My father also had no interest in it. What I have said in my messages is what I learned primarily from an Asian Art dealer in NYC in 1985. He was the one who said that it was an 18th century Thai statue. (the message board is not accepting my photo. if you have an email address that i can send it to i'd be happy to do so. sorry.)
Thanks so much!
Susan
