As far as I can tell, without holding it, this is real, most likely it was found in a burial chamber.

I agree this is real, ming dynasty
However it is likely to have been weathered/stained artificially at that time.... Not as a result of burial

What a beautiful piece.

The colour seems natural and simply skilfully carved to use the various tones.

I disagree victor...Jade rarely calcifies to a black in nature. This was likely done in a ming staining workshop using heavy metals like mercury and lead.... The staining workshops workers (Like jade carving craftsmen prior) was a rank passed from father to son and a good stainer was at least as highly regarded as a good carver
