So interesting...Shiva is usually depicted with a trident and/or axe when he has a weapon. Also, appears to be seated in a high-backed chair. Has the top-knot and perhaps a headband type diadem. I really don't think it's the Buddha, though, I've never seen Shiva with a prominent belly. I'm going to be watching this, especially the comments. I hope someone can ID this one.

OMG I never seen that before hilarious I will be sharing that

Dec 16th, 2014 at 11:34:12 AM PST by

This is definitely NOT Buddah! Buddah wore no clothes, except a plain robe that might have covered his shoulders and hung by his sides. He also had a huge round belly! This is more on the lines of a Hindu god, with the cobras that he holds in tow of his many arms, as well as the third eye in the middle of his forehead. I believe this is a Hindu god from India. The details are most amazing!

Dec 14th, 2014 at 4:51:01 PM PST by

Awesome that helps a lot!! I agree it is pretty neat

Dec 16th, 2014 at 11:34:55 AM PST by

I also noticed that he has the third eye in the middle of his forehead, if that helps any with the identification of this god, which I agree is from one of the religions of India. This is an awesome piece and the details are just amazing! FW&B

Dec 14th, 2014 at 4:33:08 PM PST by

Dec 12th, 2014 at 8:16:29 PM PST by

Dec 16th, 2014 at 11:52:26 AM PST by

Buddha! The one and only!

Dec 12th, 2014 at 5:54:54 PM PST by

I was thinking that too but the weapon doesn't fit too well with Buddhism

Dec 14th, 2014 at 3:58:30 PM PST by

It might be the Hindu god lord Shiva - The destroyer.

Dec 11th, 2014 at 9:32:36 PM PST by

That is cool I will google it and check that out

Dec 12th, 2014 at 5:44:14 PM PST by

More like some kind of god...Maybe from southeast Asia.

Dec 11th, 2014 at 9:27:18 PM PST by

:) Awesome thanks!!

Dec 12th, 2014 at 5:44:33 PM PST by

Buddha?

Dec 11th, 2014 at 7:21:41 PM PST by

At first glance I though so too but the weapon made me wonder
