Does anyone know the age of these nephrite jade statues? 70 cm high and 32 cm wide and the arms and heads are separately made. bodies are carved in high relief and have not been treated with acid like some fakes.

How sure are you that it is Nephrite?
You better check if it is Chloromelanite,and then I would point at it being Pre-Columbian or older.

thank you for your response, these are chinese statues and they depict figures from the sanxingdui culture. I have had nephrite before and these statues have the same fibre makeup of the stone. on google if you type han jade bear you will see it has the same engravings on the body. but the bear is a fake because it has been treated with acid to make it look old. see photo.
