Subject:Help identifying figurine and translating writing
Posted By: Rita Sun, Sep 15, 2019 IP: 2601:381:4200:41:202 I have a small Buddha figurine with two holes on the bottom and some writing that I need translated. It would also help if someone could tell me how the object is used (why the holes?) or give me any other information. The Buddha is sitting, with one hand on the side of his face and in the other hand is a fan. Thank you!
