Ancient medicinal statuettes of the Buddha (Burma).

Rare ancient Burmese statuettes of various Buddhas (Phra Upakut, Sakyamouni, etc.)
These Buddha statuettes date from the first half of the 20th century
and are composed of a paste of medicinal plants covered with golden lacquer
as you can see in the photo below.
In Burma, this type of medicinal statuette was once carefully preserved.
and when a person was seriously ill, a few grains of powder were scraped
with a knife blade from the hole on the base
and they were consumed in tea as a powerful blessing
for good health.
