The statue is is believed to represent a stylistic hybrid between the Buddhist and pre-Buddhist Bon culture that portrays the god Vaisravana, the Buddhist King of the North, also known as Jambhala in Tibet.
 
The Buddhist statue first found by a Nazi expedition in 1938. New analysis has found it is made from a meteorite.

The article says it is unknown how it was discovered.  I'm wondering whether the Nazi's stole it from the Tibetans.
