Posted By: Ernest Wilhelm Tue, Mar 20, 2018 To me it looks like low quality BC Jade.made rough, to make it look old. Most likely made in Taiwan, maybe even in China. |

Posted By: Super Wed, Mar 21, 2018 I agree with Ernest, based on these low-resolution pictures, judging by its material and workmanship, I believe it was made modern, made it look old, put in a fancy stand and try to sell it for a bundle. No pun intended. |
