This is one of only 4 known
Extremely rare 12 armed weaponless Arya Manjushri Namasangiti cast in white copper Paktong ( also known as early Chinese nickle silver)
Cast in the 1700's in Either Tibet by a Nepali craftsman or cast in Nepal.
2 of the 4 Buddhas sold for $2000 each at auction not including Auction fees
(none of the 2 were tested and certified )
I checked with the auctions
The 3rd is on display in the Nepali national museum ...
This sculpture has now been tested and confirms it to be very likely to be Chinese Paktong as used in Tibet/Nepal in the 18th century.
If I have to pay another 500e to test it using carbon 14 testing on the chaff and core and it clarifies and certifies the date to be 1700's the price this sculpture will triple to 9000e.
I have included the auction photos of 2 similar sculptures.
As well as the Nepali museums own Arya Manjushri Namasangiti.
My price is now €3000.oo fixed
As I do have certification which elevates its value over and above previous auction sales prices for similar items.
My offer is for a 300 year old extremely rare Arya Manjushri Namasangiti now with a certiticate of metalurgical testing.
100% Newari lost wax casting displaying
Carbonised rice husk and chaff . The casting core is intact and can be carbon dated.
