Subject:VERY OLD JADE? ELEPHANT WITH SMALL FIGURE ON TOP - AGE?
Posted By: James Nicholas Wed, Mar 14, 2018 IP: 184.98.151.158 This a very heavy, possibly jade carved figure of elephant with small figure, maybe a boy. There is no stamp on bottom, but it has much wear on bottom. To me, it seems to have great age. |

Posted By: Ernest Wilhelm Thu, Mar 15, 2018 the second photo needs a lot more light. How can we judge if you put photos of such low caliber in the forum. a sharp close-up of the small figure would help as well. You have to do the scratch test,. |

Posted By: Ernest Wilhelm Thu, Mar 15, 2018 Something tells me that this is a softer stone than Jade. Did you do a hardness test? |
