Message It is definitely not jade because jade is not a good material for painting. It does not look like marble eventhough it was a popular material. The surface of marble or jade is not a good material to hold the painting. Etchings have to added to the marble surface in order to hold the paint. Your pictures are too small and not clear enough to show the detail. The characters are up-side down also. Post a Response |
