Posted By: LEE Tue, Oct 30, 2012 No hope of being genuine. The carving and material is too crude and not well organised. Compare it with the piece from Han tomb from capital museum. |

Posted By: LEE Tue, Oct 30, 2012 The little curly bits and the feet of the dragon are too crude as well to get an idea of what it is trying to represent . Very poor carving that is trying to use the old way of carving but has not mastered the spirit of real han jade. |

Posted By: adam Tue, Oct 30, 2012 Its in the style of a han piece but doesnt look like the material that would have been used by the han (Note that they have appeared to make it look "manually made" as opposed to electrically tooled) a han piece would have been off-white, creamy yellow or perhaps a very light mint green.I have never seen a pei in this colour!! |

Posted By: Ernest Wilhelm Tue, Oct 30, 2012 Look close, and you see the sloppy workmanship, plus the wrong gloss. |

Posted By: Dave Sat, Nov 03, 2012 Thank you all for your input. Really good observations I must say. |

Posted By: Dave Mon, Nov 05, 2012 Actually, I beg to differ on the comparison with Han pieces, or more specifically Western Han examples. Although the above piece is unlikely genuine, it is attempting to copy stylistic carvings popular during the Warring States period, instead of the Han dynasty. |

Posted By: LEE Tue, Nov 06, 2012 Here is a photo of a warring state S pendant note the Hetian jade used and the fine carving. This one comes from Shandong museum. |
