Posted By: Ernest Wilhelm Fri, Mar 31, 2017 From the low quality pictures I deduct that this item is made from soft stone. . Serpentine. Do a scratch test: with a strong needle,and with enough pressure, make a 2-3 mm scratch, then tell us the color of this tiny scratch, white or black? |

Posted By: Ernest Wilhelm Mon, Apr 03, 2017 My assumption was correct, it is a Serpentine. Now you have a good carving to study. Yes, a good camera is always helpful. |
