Bronze statue about 22" tall. The symbol on the bottom is the only possible identifying mark I could find. Any ideas or knowledge would be helpful and greatly appreciated.

Bronze coloured ONLY. They were and are made of solid resin which gives it the weight. The BASE would be hollow as bronze or metal pieces are on all statues if they would be real metal. These have flooded the market since the 1990's. The bronze finish shows no sign of any real age. People assume they are metal since they are heavy.

The mark is very recent with no wear or age on it also, not that its a bad piece. A lot of people have these or want one, so they are not waste.
some kind of tara , as far as i know the mark is nepal, forgot te mane of the mark sounds like vanja i believe , maybe later i tossed all of it
well i am glad i am overruled , because the vayna is tibetan well saved me a lot of trouble concerning emanaties of Shakyamuni as far as i can see there are 49 vayna,s, good luck all, with the database
you have to the nepal vayna,s also i see which are 61
Thank you all for your help. It is greatly appreciated. Take care!
Beautiful piece, I have to disagree with Phil on this one, it is metal and and even if it isn't an antique, it is still a very good quality piece.
