Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png): 

I am responsible for liquidating my grandmothers estate and thought I'd check to see if anyone can give me any info on these gold leaf plates (see photos) before I sell them for almost nothing. I have been told by my grandmother these plates and 2 other similar plates (with different beehive marks) are worth a great deal, but I was unable to find the plates markings anywhere on the internet, particularly, the solid, black star mark with "Silesia" underneath the star.

Asian oriental antique 4 ft tall thai buddhist woman/goddess statue

Category: 
Asian Art
Medium - What is the item made out of (e.g. "silver")?: 
Some kind of metal
Distinguishing marks or signature (e.g. artist's name, silver hallmark): 
None that I've been able to find
Date Period (Estimated date of item if known): 
No idea
Price Paid (If known): 
$125
Size and dimensions of this item: 
4ft, 2in tall.
Weight: 
40 lbs?
Condition: 
Good
History: 
Purchased from a local small town antiques dealer for $125. He said that he didn't know anything about it at all. He bought it from some people who live in the nearby metro area. He claimed that someone had told him that it was from a thai temple, but he could have been lying.
Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png): 

I have an acquaintance from Vietnam who said that she was sure it was Thai. I think that it's a buddhist goddess, but I suppose it could just be a Thai woman. It's obviously handmade (at least the gold colored part). It's made of some kind of metal (both the black part and the gold part) and is hollow inside. She still ways about 40 pounds though. I've been unable to find any kind of artist's mark on it. It looks like it's been kept outside in the past, because there are a few small spots of corrosion. Anything that anyone could tell me would be much appreciated. I don't really know the first thing about it!
