Re: Fish Carving |
Posted By: Jim Posted Date: Dec 20, 2007 (11:36 AM) |
Message Steve, This is a nice carving, so I can see why you purchased it. However like the other unbiased opinions I would question its age and probably the material, jade/serpentine/bownite. If it where a sought after quality piece of yellow or muttonfat the carver would not have made �any� stylistic, geometric or uniformity mistakes during the weeks/months that it would have taken him to carve this. As for the age coloring, it�s to uniform to be of a natural occurrence and that may be why it�s in a sealed display. Jim |
