Despite your explanation, your pictures show the item to be light to dark brown.
Perhaps you should post sharper and true to color photos.

It appears the workmanship isn't very good. You don't give the size of the carving. Assuming it is of reasonable size, it should have better definition. It looks like the melted wax version of a Jade Mountain.

Below is an example of a Jade Mountain. I apologize for the quality of the photo. I took it through the shop window. I also blew up a couple of the trees. I'm not holding this example up as the epitome of a quality jade mountain. However, the workmanship appears noticeably better than yours.

Cheers,
Stan
