Hello
i could be wrong but i dont think this is a hongshan statue.
the drawings are made by a mechanical tool.
a korean expert once told me that hongshan lew jades are always carved "from east to west" in thin lines.
moreover this object has been stained with earth but does not show any crystalline surface change.
I'm not sure it's jade, it doesn't have the pearly effect
very cordially good continuation good luck

Thank you for the comments. Western Zhou ( 1027BC ) is not considered Neolithic and therefore, not Hongshan. Regards.

Hello sir

you know the Chinese history very well because you must have seen that this jade could be a copy, right?
the zhou sculpture lines have a very different 90 angle but once again I could be wrong c is on the visual I do not lend to be an expert.juste a fan. Someone else will be give us opinion.
Cordialement
