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.
It is 9" tall, 3 3/4" wide, and 2 1/4" deep.
Please help.
Thank you for your input.
Sincerely,
Jimmy N

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,.

Something tells me that this is a softer stone than Jade. Did you do a hardness test?

Here are three more photos. A higher quality photo will not download onto the forum.
I tried the scratch test, and it doesn't leave an indentation.
Thank you, Ernest,

This is an addition of photos of the small figure on top of the elephant.
Thanks, again,
