Lead Statue

[Barasingha]

A friend found this small lead (at least what he believes it's made out of) statue. Any thoughts of age or what it is. Thanks.

It looks like bronze to me.

Asian martial arts figure.

Where did you find it and how big is it?

serious answer this time

could be a leg from a pot or bowl, or similar type vessel

I looked closer at the Op object and it looked like it was once connected to something from the tops of the arms, and when you mentioned it looked more bronze, with the Asian looking garb on the figure....I recall seeing bowls like that before, and I just googled ancient Chinese footed bowls.... many appeared in the images and that one had figures holding up the bowl

Sometimes a combination of words and phrases in a google search and using the image gallery can produce a variety of possibilities that come close and sometimes they even give a bang on id especially with coins and buttons

I enjoy the challenge as many of us do in getting to the bottom of a mystery item
