Subject:Chinese erotic jade carving
Posted By: Chris J. Tue, Feb 20, 2018 IP: 85.222.14.29

I need opinion about age of this jade erotic carving. I think it was made in first half of 19th century. The traces of tools show that it was hand work. In jade there are black inclusions. Measurements: 8,4 x 5,3 x 1,1 cm

Thank you for your opinion, but it is not possible thet it is bowenite because it is very hard. It is impossible to scrap it with sharp steel knife.

Yes, Bowenite is very hard. In the good old days it was believed to be Jade,until Mr. Bowen tested it.

Well, this response to the judgment of an experienced benefactor begs the question of why you asked for comment to begin with? If you were interested in the artistic or intrinsic value of this article, then let me be the first to opine that it has none.
