I hope that beautiful piece finds itself in the care of someone who can appreciate its beauty and essence. Artwork that survives centuries, has its own journey!

[@tracydavis3919]

I really hope someone can get this piece to revere it as it's intended.

"This is a revered holy item". "I don't care about it at all but I thought it was worth some money."

@@corgeousgeorge lots of canadians are like this too. I don’t think this kind of person is somehow beholden to their country of origin. People like this really suck

Hey, the buddha came to her. Don't doubt the buddha. If buddha say good it's good, buddha smarter than people.

[@kumquatmagoo]

@@AJScraps Why? Antiques dealers are in it for the money, so what's the difference? At least she's honest about it.

[@K1rkles]

Ok, counterpoint - wouldn't the expense help the buyer to attain more merit? Maybe she's doing someone a favor

[@ivorytower99]

Can you imagine being the person that held this yard sale?

[@sutats]

It reminded me of the other Bodhisattva valuation several years back on the show that went under the hammer not to long after for big money.

[@MM-Iconoclast]

I remember that one - I think the valuation was around 80k. (100k - thanks to the person below who posted the clip, and it sold for many times that - 2.1 million at Sothebys).

[@collisw8302]

I like the people that come on the roadshow and show off something that they appreciate and respect, this person.. Not so much.

As a guy myself, he is a handsome gentleman. I also concur with the +3 damage for the Australian accent 😂

You see equally hot guys every day, but don't take notice. Men dress like little boys nearly every day of their lives. Notice how caring about how you present yourself , adds points as well?

[@AJScraps]

She shouldn’t be paid for it considering how much disrespect she gave it and she only bought it to flip it for material wastes on her own self. L human

[@roliepoliecolie2200]

Yes indeed cool things can be found at garage sales.

[@TheresaDressler-md6ut]

Did you ever sell the piece?

[@mamboyeye999]

Must respect and love all forms light.

[@litigioussociety4249]

She must have bought it after seeing the other one on the Roadshow four years back that went for over a million. It's here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWPYq2OsqqeMmJo

[@RonGee]

I thought of that episode right away when I saw the thumbnail and description for this one.

[@danmoyer4650]

I followed your link. That item was appraised at $100,000 to $125,000 not "over a million" as you stated. Where did you get that number from?

[@57z]

@@danmoyer4650 It later sold at auction for over 2 million. Edit: just look at the top comment on the other video. It was sold at Sotheby's lot #553 A Gilt-Bronze Figure Cintamanicakra Avalokiteshvara

[@Benbenbenbenbenbenbenben1]

Keeps it in a box! Nothing depresses me more than people who buy artworks like this for their potential value and don’t care less about the art.

[@Davesunflower]

so your saying someone who thought an object was valuable and bought it for some dollars for a profit is more depressing than say war, famine or the death of an infant due to illness? Nothing depresses you more than this? ha ha oh dear how dramatic x

[@ho2cultcha]

The gender of this bodhisattva is very debatable. Buddha was depicted as feminine starting in the 5th-6th century - Quanyin emerged from these images. Many scholars would agree that these images represent something beyond gender.

[@houserental5424]

Buddha was never a woman, sounds like woke leftist nonsense

Pearls before swine.

[@kumquatmagoo]

And yet she appreciated it and bought it. I don't think you've understood the phrase.

[@mjmcnult]

@@kumquatmagoo She didn't appreciate it. She said she does not like it and that it is kept in a box, and that she bought it because "it looked old" . So she bought it on the mere possibility that it could be valuable, not because it she appreciated the beauty of it.

[@kumquatmagoo]

@@mjmcnult Her not liking the look of it doesn't mean she doesn't appreciate it. She is selling the pearls she clearly recognised.

[@sunnyscott4876]

I don't mind that she thought it might be a good worthwhile purchase but she showed little respect for the religious significance of it, even when he was trying to explain it to her. Typically self-absorbed and entitled.

[@ivorytower99]

A Millennial.

[@AJScraps]

Wow I reaaaallly don’t like that person she disrespected everything about the religion and was only interested in flipping it for money. Not only going against everything the Buddhist religion is about, but spitting in its face by also claiming she thinks its ugly and just got it for money.

[@kumquatmagoo]

Can you quote where she disrespected the religion? All I see is an enterprising girl getting some good news. She is honest about why she bought it, what more can you ask?
