The interesting thing (to me, anyway) about the statue is that it depicts Buddha as an ascetic. This was a path the Buddha pursued prior to enlightenment, and abandoned.

A very unusual and beautiful statue. Thanks for sharing. I wish I could help with the translation, but please update us if you find out more.
