Lee Young, a Managing Director of Dore and Rees auctioneers who specializes in Asian Art, confirmed that the object originated from the Ming Dynasty, dating its origin between 1368 and 1644.The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the "most exciting possible explanation for the object’s presence in WA is that it came on the 1421 Ming treasure voyage," which "could mean the Chinese visited the region almost 200 years before Dutchman Dirk Hartog landed in 1616." Another possible explanation was that "it arrived in the 150 or so years since the 1870s, when the Chinese are first known to have come to the northwest coast."RELATED: Notre Dame Cathedral set to reopen in December 2024, Paris officials say"In the last four years, it has cost us significant personal capital and time to be able to investigate and protect the Buddha appropriately," Deschamps wrote in a statement to Storyful.

Breaking down the fees, Deschamps added that "it makes our investment in time and capital well over $100K, which is how we have now decided to set our reserve for the auction."Storyful contributed to this report.

may help prevent heart disease or even a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.The new analysis, published on March 31 in JAMA Network Open, reviewed more than 100 studies published as far back as 1980, involving nearly 5 million people in total. It found that there was a "significantly increased risk" of death among female drinkers who drank 25 or more grams of alcohol per day, which is about two 5-ounce glasses of wine, two 12-ounce beers, or two cocktails containing 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits. The same significantly increased risk was found for males who drank 45 or more grams of alcohol per day, or slightly over three standard drinks.FILE - A woman pours wine into a glass at home.
