Hey, Patrick:
Where is the picture of the jade? The lady is well carved, but I believe it is carved of bone, not ivory.
Best regards
Ethan

Photo attachments are limited to 3 each posting. Think the female is Chang'e or Chang-o, originally known as Heng'e the Chinese goddess of the Moon? Pretty sure it's ivory but hard to tell because of age.
