Interested in anyone with knowledge on artifacts on this listing I saw in Australia. I'm not a buyer...but I thought it smelt funny ? Kosher? Legal even?

I've never seen a statue as crude as this here, and I even flicked through a nearby book on Khmer antiquities to check. It seems to have only three fingers on one hand. I'd say definitely fake.

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
I think the three fingers is becausr. It's possibly an apsara dancer and her fingers are back with index finger and thumb Pinching. I questioned the guy about it and said possibly he should return it if it was real and he got all ****** with me and said that he'd been in Cambodia for 25 years and the museums didn't care and he used the money to fund good work over there, sounded suss as ****.
