This is a fine example of a silver sheath buddha. These older ones rarely survive as they are made from very thin sheets of silver which is wrapped around clay or a wooden figure of a Buddha and then gently beaten into shape and they often have little repairs done to them.

This a classic Laotian Buddha, simple design with a big nose and smiling funny face with traces of gold gilding. Some people say you should only buy Buddhas with nice faces but I disagree. I think it makes it a very individual piece. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
