He bought it at a small roadside stand in rural Burma( Myanmar) My Uncle flew helicopters in Viet Nam and ended up in some pretty remote places. It looks to be Gilted Bronze with gold leaf inlay. He sat by our fireplace for about 30 yrs and my mom just gave it to me she's had it for about 50 yrs. It's 15.5" tall 10.5" point to point at the base and 5.5" widest point on the base filled with a sandy like concrete tan in color
