What does this mean?

Dear Yashini,

Your artwork is nicely worked but not very old, I believe around 50 years old. The brass plate is done by hand and well done. I believe it could also be made in Nepal instead of Tibet but thats hard to tell for sure. The gold face buddha is done really well and has a good expression. I must evaluate it as a decorative object instead of an antique. My estimation is based on what I believe would be a fair price in auction or sales room.
