Under the Hammer this week is a Bronze Buddha.
It is exquisite and rare. The Buddha sits in a solid gold shrine which can be worn.
Inside is a 1000 year old guilded bronze Buddha from the Sung Dynasty with a tiny ruby embedded in the piece.
The Sung Dynasty was a period in Chinese history from 960 - 1279.
Adrian guesses: $1500

Gordon guesses: $3000
It sells at auction for $600
