Dear Steve, Your statue of Durga riding a lion is made in India mid 20th century I believe. It misses some features that makes it an antique. Its indeed made of bronze and casted Circe perdu in my opinion and afterwards carved with hand to give it more detail. It has nice quality and there is some demand for Hindu art in auctions. The lack of age is not quite compensated by the quality. My estimation is based on that and I believe its a fair price in auction or salesroom.
