Well the guys was suppose to be an expert.... Also I'm a Buddhist and straight away I know it was Avalokitesavaras 11headed 4 armed avatar and this guy didn't even mention it. Kinda points towards maybe he's not exactly an expert.
i dont know how he get that as a gift from his friend ..and yes many of the old tibetan statue has been stolen or taken during or after the invasion..so if that statue is really old and from 17th century like the expert said.( cause here i didnt feel like he gave a good look on it, probably just by his naked eyes he guessed its old as he is an expert ,so i cant say much)then it really gonna cost more than 10000 grand..because even am not an expert but the statue is more than 12inches and in a good condition. cause even the new statue are expensive if the quality is good.
What's fascinating about this video is that there's one guy who is totally excited about the culture, the meaning behind expressions and other is......"I'm just going shoppin...."
Expert: This is 10 dimension Buddha with affection to humanity. Very sacred form and someone who is sent back to help people Rick: Yeah! How much is it worth!
Maybe, quit owning and worshipping statues then ?? Almost all Tibetans have atleast one of such statues in their homes and I'm definitely sure those statues din't just pop up out of nowhere. All that superstitious beliefs are pretty stupid in the 1st place.
do you think that 18th century artifact can be a good condition like that? we are talking about century not a decade. supposed to be that artifact become a dull or something
1750's? Something nearly 300 years old? I mean 7 grand is tempting, but I'd hold onto that. You never know where it'll end up or if it'll be preserved and taken care of.
The bronze statue are made in Nepal, you can find these statue in Tibet is because since long time Nepal export these different Mahayana buddhism statue for trade. I know this because I am from the family that produce these arts. Tibet and the indigenous people of Kathmandu i.e. Newar are the only Mahayana buddhism followers remaining in the world. If you visit Nepal you can explore these god in big size from 7ft to 12ft dated back about 1000years as this is a part of the culture that we indigenous people from Kathmandu follow.

I am a buddhist from the mountains of Nepal. My ancestors are from tibet. There is no way anyone is allowed to sell these artifacts anywhere in the country. It is illigal but Any how some people steal it from the old monasteries and sell it to the foreigners who come there to visit. They even get around the customs and ship it to different countries. These artifacts should be returned to the monasteries and not be sold anywhere.its just sad seeing people trying to gain money out of it. Smfh
Bruhhh u realized he said his friend got it from a garage sale? Also, prof said it was an old piece from unknown origin. It’s illegal to sell in Nepal but if it wasn’t from there then it not illegal my guy.

He claimed the statue to be a gift from his friend and frankly said that he does not feel any attachment with it, but when it comes to putting a price on the statue he used it changed his color and used it as a reason to explain why the statue so valuable to him.
They give auction prices. Auctions have a very limited audience in a small time frame and for low to mid priced items like this auction prices will be significantly lower than selling it in a store, or with a fixed price on ebay.

I guess I should have clarified, a Nazi flag

his house warming gift is worth $10,000? he got some friends.

TenRowena me too. Haha they never turned it over to see the work underneath or to see if it had been filled/blessed by a lama
Interesting
I'm NOT a Tibetan Buddhist and I would have kept it or gifted it to the professor.
I would have gave to museum cause it is sold artifact and its bad

Trades in priceless artifact to go shopping for worthless junk....
thats the american culture for ya
Yes because I would rather have a neat statue I don't care about than food.. or housing
It's not a priceless artefact though? The price is 10 grand.
2ruthfox82 Welcome to Capitalism
You don't know what the word priceless means.

selling a gift is kinda rude tho 😳
but maybe its new owner will appreciate it more 🤗
No if your getting 10k
well not really, because "refuse" a gift is consider rude.
how you're gonna deal with with it is all on you man.
The gift doesnt even match his religion, he has no use or reason to have it

In Tibetan world, if you sell Buddha statues we consider very inhuman. Plus this guy got it from a friend who gave Buddha status as gift.
Putting it up for sale in Ricks shop gave the message to tens of thousands of people who might have never heard otherwise.
How do you get a Buddha statue then? Does that mean all shops that sell them are bad?
i think every religion, some thing from them is considered priceless
Maybe, quit owning and worshipping statues then ??
