Dear list members,
 
some interesting obervations about the Chinga statue have recently been made  
by Achim Bayer from Dongguk University, Seoul :

Collection"  by Achim Bayer (2012):

original paper:

" Buddha fromspace—An ancient object of art made of a Chinga iron meteorite fragment"

Are there any Tibetologists or Buddhologists on this list who would like to share their opinions?

Best regards

Martin
