This piece has a diameter of 10cm and is 8mm tall.

The specific gravity is 2.553 and it could be Serpentine.

Very very nice looking piece and possibly Han

Additional photos.

I was actually surprised at the low s.g of this piece.

Definitely not Han. More like a crude modern copy of Han style.

The stone looks a bit artificially dyed too.

Modern replica.... Amongst the many faults the most glaring is the modern style of chilong.

Korean National Museum for decoration comparison.

Victor, if you knew what you were looking at, then you would see your images back up my assertion...Look at the heads of the chilong (Then compare to every known han piece)
