Qing or Republic period
The bronze Buddha with the four-face, eight-arms seated on a single lotus throne, with hand gestures of charity, teaching, and meditation, wearing a robe with flowing ribbons and hems with engraved decorations, six character mark cast on the back of the base. 四面佛是華人地區民間對梵天的俗稱，"梵天"在佛教中亦稱造書天、婆羅賀摩天、淨天。原是印度教、婆羅門教三大主神之一的梵天，是創造宇宙之神，梵文字母的創製者。在東南亞，特別是泰國被認為是法力無邊，掌握人間榮華富貴之神;其四面分別朝向東南西北，供信眾祈福。由於外形近似中國佛像，中文譯名多為四面佛，但事實上四面佛不是佛，所以準確而言應譯為四面神。
