Message Dear Jim Look at the front, this stone look like alabaster, but look at the back, it looks like white nephrite. If it can not be scratched by scissors, and crystal...I have no idea what kind of stone it is. Nephrite can be scratched and leave any marks by crystal. As for the workmanship,this bodhisattva of compassion, Guan Yin and the Thousand Arms is new..the torso is too long, the palms are too big, and thick, especially, the right one on the chest doing Abhaya Mudra (in Sanskrit means fearlessness), the lotus pedals are wrong (not Ming, not Qing), the robe looks like Mandalay Buddha Images. And no Amitabha Buddha in the hair above the forehead, or any sign of him on the figure, no accessories of any kind but the bracelets, overall picture is not in the good proportion. If it is white nephrite, it would worth a lot. Post a Response |
