Buddha

[moska]

Hi ! Can you help me to date this big ceramic bouddha ? The seller told me he was at home for 50 years and he had bought in an antique shop at the time ... Is it possible ? 
Thanks in advance ...
height : 44 cm
base diameter : 36.5 cm

Looks contemporary to me. 50 years would not make an item antique. There are no reliable age signs. The figurine sits on a lotus flower base, but this is a pefunctorily made base. Petals are too small and carelessly made.
Obviously, the base was thrown on the wheel and then attached to the figurine. To me this gives the impression as if it was made for a quick sale, not for the altar or decoration.
