It is really heavy (sorry I don't have the exact weight). Dear Mr. Goh, Thailand does not ban the export of Burmese art. The world is full of antiques from other countries. If you don't trust us, don't buy from us. Hi Ms Swati, This piece weighs around 100 lbs, give or take. It is really heavy (sorry I don’t have the exact weight).

The first half of this period was a time of consolidation of the kingdom's power, and was punctuated by periodic conflicts with Burma, Vietnam and Laos. The later period was one of engagement with the colonial powers of Britain and France, in which Siam managed to be the only southeast Asian country not to be colonised by a European country. Internally the kingdom developed into a centralised nation state with borders defined by its interaction with the Western powers. Significant economic and social progress was made, with an increase in foreign trade, the abolition of slavery and the expansion of education to the emerging middle class. However, there was no substantial political reform until the monarchy was overthrown in a military coup in 1932. Rattanakosin art is from the Rattanakosin period of Thai history.
